Hey there! I’ve got a delicious recipe for you – the Best Gluten Free Roll-Out Sugar Cookies! These cookies are packed with almond flavor goodness and cream cheese frosting! They are perfect for decorating during the holiday season. Trust me, they’re a lot of fun to make and even more fun to eat! So grab your rolling pin and let’s get baking!
It comes together in no time, and you can have a blast cutting fun shapes and adding frosting. Whether you use a piping bag or not, it will still turn out delicious. Oh, and don’t forget to throw in some fun sprinkles! Personally, I prefer using dye-free food coloring for that extra pop of color. Trust me, this dough will be an absolute hit!
I recently had a blast digging through my neighbor’s super cool vintage cookie cutter collection! So many fun classic holiday designs like snowmen and gingerbread men, as well as these fun stars and trees! She let me pick a few to try out. Such a fun way to connect with the past and enjoy the simple pleasure of homemade treats.
If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend digging into someone’s vintage cookie cutter collection.
These bake quick and hot to hold their shape. Don’t OVERBAKE! In my oven they are typically perfect in about 5 minutes!
I used some disposable piping bags to pipe the frosting onto some of the cookies. I used these tips. play around with the different tips and find your favorites. We used some fun sprinkles we found on a recent outing. Here is a good choice for certified gluten free sprinkles.
I’d love to know what colors, shapes, and sprinkles you use on your cookies! And hey, if you come across any vintage cookie cutters while you’re at it, let me know. I’m still on the lookout for some!

Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 425°F
- In the bowl of a stand mixer cream, the sugar and butter, until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the sour cream, egg, and almond extract. Mix to combine.
- Next, add the baking soda and salt. Slowly add the flour, one cup at a time. Mix until dough forms.
- Roll out on a flowered surface to about a 1/4 of an inch thick (dough rises quite a bit). If dough sticks, re-roll and sprinkle surface with more flour (gluten free dough can be extra sticky. Cut into desired shapes.
- Place on an ungreased cookie sheet lined with parchment. Bake 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown on the bottom, but don't overcook! Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add the almond extract. Slowly adding the powdered sugar, whip until nice and fluffy. Add milk to adjust consistency. Add more powdered sugar if nesscary. Add food dye if desired.
- Frost once cookies are completely cool.I like to let the cookies sit until the frosting hardens, and then either store in an airtight container in the fridge or store in the freezer in Ziploc bags with parchment paper between layers.
