Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough
  • 5 1/2 cups free flour blend
  • 2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1 tsp powder
  • 2 cups (4 sticks) softened butter
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 6 tbsp buttermilk, shaken
Butter-cream Frosting
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • milk to consistency
  • food coloring of choice

Method
 

For cookies
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F
  2. In a mixer, cream together, the butter and sugar, until somewhat smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  3. In another bowl, stir together the dry ingredients, flour ( I always measure gluten-free flour on the light side and like to fluff it up before measuring), baking soda, and baking powder. See my note for my favorite measuring cups.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed ingredients. Mix well. Add the buttermilk to make the dough soft not wet.
  5. Rolll into small/medium balls. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake until done about (8 to 9 minutes).
  6. Let cool on a wire rack. Frost.
Butter-cream Frosting
  1. Add everything to a bowl and mix with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth. Usually takes a couple of minutes until fluffy. (I usually 1 1/2 this recipe because I like more frosting.)
