Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Butter (salted, room temp)
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese (block style, room temp)
  • 2 Large Eggs (room temp)
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 3/4 cup King Arthur Measure for Measure Gluten Free Blend (400 grams)
  • 1 1/2 cup Sugar (300 grams)
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt (4 grams; raise to 1 tsp if using unsalted butter)
  • Powdered Sugar (for rolling cookies)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the room temperature butter and cream cheese, and mix until smooth.
  2. Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing until blended.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
  5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough, roll into balls, and coat in powdered sugar.
  8. Slightly flatten each cookie and dip again in powdered sugar.
  9. Place on baking sheet 2 inches apart and bake for 12-14 minutes, until soft yet set.
  10. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for about 5-7 days or freeze for up to 3 months. For variations, consider adding chocolate chips or nuts. Adjust salt if using unsalted butter and add citrus zest for more flavor.
