Easy Gluten-free Chewy Sugar Cookies
Tis the season for all things cookies, and sometimes you want all the flavor with a lot less work. That’s why these Easy Chewy Drop Sugar Cookies are my go-to cookies!
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ C Cassava Flour 175 g
- ⅓ C Tapioca Starch
- 1 ½ C Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Guar Gum
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 OZ Cream Cheese Soft
- ½ C Butter Soft
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
Instructions
- Cream the butter, cream cheese, and sugar together.
- Add the egg and vanilla.
- Mix in the dry ingredients until the dough comes together.
- Allow the dough to chill for about 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Scoop the dough into small bowls and roll into additional sugar.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake the cookies for about 12-14 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden in color.
- Allow them to cool for at least ten minutes before removing them from the pan.
Notes
- Measure the flour with a kitchen scale to get the most consistent results. Cassava flour, in particular, can settle a lot.
- Make a tester cookie. Depending on how you measure, your flour might not measure right. When I don’t want to pull out my kitchen scale, I will bake off one cookie to see how it reacts. If it spreads more than I want it to, I’ll add a tablespoon more flour to get a slightly thicker cookie.
- Have fun with them. Roll them in your favorite colored sugars or sprinkles to make these cookies perfect for any occasion or holiday.
- If you like a flatter cookie, skip chilling the dough.
