Gluten-Free Spritz Delights Recipe image

My daughter has Down syndrome and loves hosting parties, especially on holidays. Cookies always took center stage until she was diagnosed with celiac disease. I decided then to take on gluten-free baking, and these are the best yetâ??a cross between a shortbread and a sugar cookie.-Cheryl Costilow, Amherst, Ohio

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon almond extract
2-1/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
1-1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup gluten-free vanilla frosting
Food coloring, optional
Gluten-free sprinkles

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and extract. In another bowl, whisk flour, xanthan gum and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture.
  • Using a cookie press fitted with a disk of your choice, press dough 1 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake 6-8 minutes or until bottoms are light brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
  • In a microwave, warm frosting to reach a drizzling consistency. If desired, tint with food coloring. Drizzle over cookies; decorate with sprinkles. Let stand until set.
  • Yield: 8-1/2 dozen.
