Ingredients

24 servings

For the cookies

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
Just About Foods Organic All Purpose Gluten Free Flour
Premium Gold Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour, 5 lbs
See all
Chef's tip
Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
3 tbsp full-fat sour cream
2 tbsp whole milk
Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened soy milk, measured 1:1. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in sauces, custards, and baked goods. For hot or acidic drinks, a barista-style soy milk resists curdling.
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp almond extract (optional)
Ingredient note
Only a small amount of almond extract is used here, as a flavoring. That adds virtually no sugar and is likely fine on a candida diet. If you prefer to always avoid flavoring extracts, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

For the icing

2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
Chef's tip
Follow the package's conversion to powdered sugar. In frosting or glaze, add liquid gradually - replacements can absorb it differently.
3–4 tbsp whole milk
Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened soy milk, measured 1:1. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in sauces, custards, and baked goods. For hot or acidic drinks, a barista-style soy milk resists curdling.
½ tsp vanilla extract
gel food coloring (optional)
