These big, beautiful bakery-style gluten free sugar cookies are chewy and satisfying, and a slightly more complex sugar cookie flavor.

Can this dough be used for cut out cookies
No, it can’t, Stephanie. I have separate recipes for that. Some are linked as referred to in this post, but you can also use the search function.
Made these the day before a picnic and I am the only gluten free person there and nobody knew! LOL! I made as written but did flatten mine because I like crispy cookies. These are delicious and very large. I did use
autumn colored sprinkles and they were really cute. Great recipe as always!! I have all your cookbooks but
still copy from your website. Thank you, Nicole
For more normal sized cookies, Karen, you could just bake them longer. Love these for a picnic, and of course always love fooling the gluten eaters. Thank you for your support, Karen!
Safeway’s organic confectioners and Trader Joe’s confectioners are both corn free. They have substituted with tapioca starch. I am corn free as well.
Hi, Diane, that’s so good to know! Thank you for sharing that info. It will for sure be useful to many!
Do you think this recipe would make a good dough for a sweet pie?
No, I don’t Stacey. It’s just a recipe for soft and chewy cookies. If you’re looking for a pie crust, I have plenty (just use the search function). If you’re looking for a cookie crust recipe, just search for “graham cracker crust,” but you need a crispy cookie for that.
Could you use a cookie scoop instead of rolling the in your hands?
If you want a proper shape for the cookies once baked, you must shape them into proper rounds when raw. I use first a cookie scoop, then roll the cookies, which you can see in the video.
Where do you find corn free as well as gluten free confectioners sugar?
Thank you for your help.
Hi, Cheryl, I use Domino’s confectioners’ sugar, which is gluten free (as are most confectioners’ sugars). Better Batter, at least in the past, has sold corn free confectioners’ sugar, but I don’t know if they still do, or if anyone else does.
