Ingredients

• 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 125 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, blending well after each addition until a smooth dough forms.

Step 5

Divide the dough into two equal parts, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Roll out each portion of the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.

Step 8

Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut the dough into rectangles, about 3 x 5 cm, or any desired shape.

Step 9

Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.

Step 10

Chill the cut cookies in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before baking to help maintain their shape.

Step 11

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden.

Step 12

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
