Ginger Cookies

I LOVE how these turned out.  I've made them a bunch of times.

1 cube butter
1 c + 1 T sugar, plus extra to roll dough balls in
1 Egg
1/4 c molasses
2 c + 5 T of Jules Gluten Free Flour
2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
2 t ground ginger
1 t cinnomon
1/8 t allspice or 1/4 t cloves


Cream butter and sugar about 2 minutes.  Add egg and molasses and mix about 1-2 more minutes.  Mix dry ingredients in separate bowl and add to wet ingredients.  Roll walnut size balls in a bowl of sugar to coat.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Easy Sugar Cookies

I've adapted this recipe from the one I always used to make.  I got it from my mom and she got it from my grandma.  They turned out so soft and delicious (they seem crispy, but when you put frosting on them they soften up).  I even froze them for a few days and they were still good. I am going to half the recipe next time, because it makes a whole bunch of cookies.  Sorry, no picture.  I forgot to take one.  I'll get one on here as soon as I can!

5 1/2 c Jules Gluten Free flour
1 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1 c shortening

Mix ingredients as you would for a pie crust.  And in another bowl mix:

1/2 c sour cream
2 eggs, well beaten
3 cups sugar
1 t vanilla

Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and mix well.

I just scooped them on a cookie sheet a pressed them down flat.  But next time I will try to roll them out and see how it works.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

3 c powdered sugar
1/3 c butter
1 1/2 t vanilla
2 T milk (you may need more depending on how thick you like it)

Mix powdered sugar and butter on low speed.  Stir in vanilla and 1 T milk.  Gradually at remaining milk until you get desired consistency.
