GF Butter Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 c. powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 c. butter softened (2 sticks)
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1/2 tsp. pectin
- 1/2 tsp. xanthan gum*
- 1 c. brown rice flour
- 1 c. sweet brown rice flour
- 1 1/2 c. almond meal
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine sugar, salt, and butter; mix well.
- Gradually stir in flours, pectin, and xanthan gum, then almond meal.
- Cover dough and chill until firm.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Form dough into 1" balls and place 1" apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, until set but not brown. Cool on wire racks.
Notes
*The first batch was without xanthan gum; the second batch with. They didn't seem to hold together better either way, so I would probably either omit this ('cause it's not worth it) or increase it (to see if it helps).
