Sugar Cookies

I found this recipe on an online gluten-free forum (Thanks, Bridget!) This is a great recipe to keep on hand for those times when you want to decorate cookies with your children or need to take cookies to a school function.

4 cups of the following mixture: 3 cups rice flour, 2 tsp xanthan gum, 1/8 cup potato starch, and enough white rice flour to bring the mixture to 4 cups.

1 tsp baking soda
1 egg
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup sour cream
1/8 tsp nutmeg (optional)

Beat the butter, egg and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla, sour cream and nutmeg and mix until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine the flour mixture, baking soda and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients. Refrigerate for 1 hour OR overnight.

Roll the dough out to 1/8" thickness. You may need to add more rice flour if the dough seems too sticky, but try not to add much. Cut out to your desired shape. If you wish to top them with sprinkles, add the sprinkles now.

Bake on a greased cookie sheet for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F. Let cool and decorate as desired.
