Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 unit Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for drizzle topping)
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, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently press down on each cookie ball with the bottom of a glass or your palm to flatten slightly.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies cool, make the cinnamon glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the cinnamon glaze over the cooled cookies using a spoon or piping bag.
Allow the glaze to set for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Gluten Free Cinnamon Bun Cookies!
