Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing until well incorporated.
Gradually add the gluten-free all-purpose flour to the butter mixture, stirring gently until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about 1/4 inch thick.
Use a cookie cutter to cut shapes out of the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake the shortbread cookies in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are just beginning to turn golden around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
