Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120g) sour cream
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
  • Pinch of salt
  • Food coloring and sprinkles for decorating

Instructions

  • Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cream the butter and sugar: In a large bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Add wet ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Mix in the sour cream on low speed until just combined.
  • Combine dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Divide dough in half, shape into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Roll and cut: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). On a floured surface, roll one disk of dough to ¼-inch thickness. Use a 2.5-inch round cookie cutter to cut out circles and place them 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets.
  • Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes until bottoms are lightly golden but tops are still pale. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make frosting: Beat softened butter until smooth. Gradually add sifted powdered sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Beat until fluffy, adding milk as needed for spreadable consistency. Tint with food coloring if desired.
  • Frost and decorate: Once cookies are completely cool, frost generously and top with sprinkles. Let set before storing.
