Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 0.5 teaspoons Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Packed light brown sugar
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
Step 6
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Gently flatten each ball of dough with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
