Cookies: 'Cause You're Special, Inc. Classic Sugar Cookie

It's been a while since I've made gluten free cookies, so I wanted to give 'Cause You're Special Classic Sugar Cookies a try.

The wheat free, gluten free, casein free cookies were easy to make and required (only) 1/2 cup cold butter, 1 egg and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla. I mixed first with a beater then managed to mold into a ball and refrigerated for 1 hour.

I rolled out the dough onto a (gluten free) floured surface and cut into shapes using a Williams-Sonoma cookie cutter, then baked for 15 minutes.

The cookies emerged appropriately pale and just brown on the underside. I let cool and gave to Rob to taste. He was happy to report they were light, crisp and buttery. To me they tasted just like gluten sugar cookies with only a hint of the rice flour aftertaste. We have success! Celiac sufferers will enjoy these cookies.

Ingredients:
White rice flour, sugar, potato starch, corn starch, xanthan gum, cream of tartar, baking soda

I have not had one of "Cause Your Special" products that I did not like. The are all exceptionally delicious! I especially like their Hearty Biscuit Mix and always keep it on hand.
