A great gluten-free sugar cookie is easier to make than you think! Thanks to the whole grain oat flour in this recipe, these sugar cookies are just as crispy, wholesome, and delicious as their traditional counterparts. Keep them plain for a simple sweet treat or decorate with your favorite sprinkles or cookie icing for a celebration of any kind.

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients and mix together by hand or using a mixer on low speed until well combined.
2. Wrap dough in a 1 inch-thick brick, and chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, until firm to the touch.
3. Once dough has chilled, preheat the oven to 350F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
4. Divide dough into two equal pieces. Rewrap one piece and place it back in the fridge while you work with the other.
5. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface, about 1/4 inch-thick. Cut into desired shapes using a cookie cutter, and place cookies on prepared baking sheet, leaving at least one-inch between the cookies.
6. Continue re-rolling and cutting scraps until all dough is used up, then repeat with the other half of the dough from the fridge.
7. Bake for 10-14 minutes until the edges just start to brown. Remove from the oven, and let cookies cool for at least 5 minutes on the pan before moving them to a cooling rack. Enjoy cookies plain, or decorate once completely cool.
