Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set the mixture aside.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the large egg and pure vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating on low speed until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, placing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your freshly baked gluten-free vanilla cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.
