Thanks to Iowa Girl Eats, this is the hands-down best GF sugar cookie recipe for drop and cut-out cookies that I have ever tried, and it’s the only one I’ll use now. Keep in mind that GF flour can be trickier to work with than standard wheat flour. GF flour is stickier and since it doesn’t have the gluten, it isn’t as pliable and workable. That doesn’t mean the cookies won’t be just as tasty though! Rolling and cutting just takes a little bit more time in keeping the dough cold enough to cut and slide onto a cookie sheet. Follow the directions in this recipe from Iowa Girl Eats for the BEST sugar cookies ever.

Along with my sister’s fast and easy cream cheese frosting this is a must-make for every occasion. I now own way too many cookie cutters just for making this recipe!
Best Cream Cheese Frosting
1 stick butter
4 oz cream cheese
2 ½ cups powdered sugar
Dash vanilla, optional
Beat butter, cream cheese and vanilla with a stand or hand mixer and slowly add the powdered sugar.
Makes enough for a 13×9 sheet cake.
Fantastic on sugar cookies or mini donuts.
