These tender and sweet Gluten Free Sugar Cookies are the perfect delicious blank canvases to decorate this holiday season!
Did you ever decorate cookies around the holidays as a kid?
I did, and I loved it. I wanted to keep that annual tradition with my girls, so I created this allergy-friendly recipe for Gluten-Free Sugar Cookies.
These gluten-free cut out cookies are blank canvases for creativity. I've made several batches over the years that my girls have decorated.
How to decorate Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Cookies:
Dairy-Free Glaze
Made from organic powdered sugar and water (or you could use dairy-free milk instead). In a medium sized mixing bowl, add 2 cups of organic powdered sugar then add water, teaspoon by teaspoon until the glaze is at your desired thickness.
Dairy-Free Frosting
This is our favorite dairy-free frosting recipe (and it's definitely my husband's preference of decorating!):
1 pound organic powdered sugar
½ cup palm shortening
¼ cup vegan butter or ghee (or more palm shortening)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-5 tablespoons water or dairy-free milk
In a large sized mixing bowl, add the organic powdered sugar, palm shortening, vegan butter or ghee, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of water or dairy-free milk. Beat until light and fluffy, and add more water or dairy-free milk until the frosting reaches the desired consistency.
To either, the glaze or the frosting, you can add natural food dye, regular food dye, or leave it out entirely.
And don’t forget the sprinkles! We like these naturally dyed ones.
Frequently asked questions about this Gluten-Free Sugar Cookie recipe:
Q: Is the texture crispy or soft?
A: It depends. If you roll the dough thin, between ⅛-1/4" thick, and then bake them until they are golden, they will be more on the crispy side. If you roll the dough thicker, ¼" thick, or a little thicker, and then bake until they are just done/set, they will be more on the soft side. Frosting helps keeps them soft too!
Q: Can I make these egg free?
A: I have not tested this recipe egg free, but since there is only 1 egg in this recipe, it might work well egg free. If I had to choose a substitute, I'd try either egg replacer, or a chia egg (To make a chia egg combine 1 tablespoon of ground chia seed with 3 tablespoons hot water. Let the slurry sit for at least 10 minutes for the slurry to gel.).
Q: Can I use all butter in place of the vegan butter/ghee and palm shortening?
A: Absolutely!
Q: Why do you freeze the raw cookie cutouts on the baking sheets before baking vs. chilling the dough and then rolling it out to cut shapes?
A: This is an updated recipe. When I originally published this recipe, I recommended refrigerating the dough and then rolling it out to cut shapes. BUT, the more I made the dough, I realized it became hard to work with after it had sat in the refrigerator; the dough became dry and crumbly. It is much, much easier to roll the dough out immediately after mixing it, cutting shapes, placing them on the baking sheets, and then freezing the cutouts on the baking sheets.
Q: Why do I have to freeze the raw cookie cutouts on the baking sheets?
A: This keeps the cookie cutouts from spreading too much and losing their shape.
Tips for rolling out the Gluten-Free Sugar Cookie dough:
- If your dough is too soft, and transferring the cut out shapes to the baking sheet is difficult, pop the raw dough in the refrigerator for 20-60 minutes. Humidity and temperature will vary greatly, and it will effect your dough. The temperatures and humidity I deal with here in Alaska are drastically different than what someone in Florida might experience.
- If your dough is too crumbly, it needs more moisture. Either wet your hands, and then gently massage the dough, or pop the dough back into the bowl of your electric mixer. Add additional water, teaspoon by teaspoon until your dough is back to being pliable.
- This pie crust bag is also super handy for rolling out cookie dough, not just pie crust!
- Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, add the vegan butter or ghee, palm shortening, and cane sugar. Cream together for 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl as needed.
- Add the egg, cold water, and vanilla extract. Beat well.
- Add the sea salt, baking powder, xanthan gum, millet flour, sorghum flour, and tapioca starch. Mix until blended.
- Divide the cookie dough into 2 equal sized disks.
- To roll the dough, lay a piece of parchment paper on a work surface and lightly sprinkle with sorghum flour. Place a disk of dough in the middle of the parchment paper, sprinkle the disk with sorghum flour, and roll the dough until it’s ¼ inch thick, starting in the middle and working out towards the edges. Keep sprinkling the dough with more flour as needed to prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin.
- Use cookie cutters to cut the dough into desired shapes. Carefully transfer the cut shapes onto the prepared baking sheets using a spatula.
- Place each baking sheet in the freezer, and freeze for 15 minutes before baking. This will keep the cookie dough from spreading too much and losing its shape.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Bake for 10 – 14 minutes, just until the cookies appear slightly golden around the edges. Cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer to cooling racks to cool completely.
- Decorate as desired and enjoy!

My favorite holiday memory was when I was a teen, and I got to fly down to Florida to visit my grandmother who spent her winters there on the gulf. Was my first time flying and away from home, I had so much fun with my grandmother looking for sharks teeth washing up on the shore every morning. Such beautiful memories!
Leslie says
We went to the Phillipines on a missions trip as a family and the day we flew home was Christmas and because of the time change we ended up getting home on Christmas so we got to celebrate Christmas 2 times. Plus, the blessed memories of touching into people's lives during the holiday season.

Megan,
It's so good to see you post again! I have been thinking of you very often and wondering how you and your family have been faring.
These cookies look lovely and we really like sugar cookies! The ingredients other than the cane sugar are exactly what my husband can eat, so this will be a simple substitution. My husband's favorite cookie is a butter type sugar cookie, like this. The boys just love cookies. 🙂 And yes, growing up we decorated a truckload of sugar cookies, all five of us brothers and sisters.
Great to see you back!
Hugs, Joanne
Colette says
Lovely photos! And those cookies look very holiday worthy!

My favorite memory is making cookies with my mom. This taught me how to do the same with my children and our many daycare children.
Julie Snow says
We moved to Tennessee the week before Christmas and kids were 3, 6 and 10. We put a very small tree in the car and the kids stockings so we could put them up as soon as we got to our new home. The movers didnt deliver the rest of our stuff until a week later but something about our still empty house said "home" worth the tiny lit tree and Christmas stockings hanging on the fireplace. Sweet memory.
Charlotte Moore says
That is hard to think of right now. I guess when our children were small and we made the decorations for the tree. Didn't have a lot of money so we had to make do.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Good to see your update.

Waking up early on Christmas morning with my sister and rushing downstairs to see what Santa had brought us. We would then turn on loud country Christmas music (her choice!) to wake up my parents.
Amber B says
Christmas morning. Not for any particular reason than the excitement 🙂 And family visiting.
Windy F says
My dad used to make molasses cookies and as kids we would help him. I remember dad having one child on his shoulders and two or three of us around him helping pour in the ingredients.
Heather says
My favorite Christmas memory was the year my x-husband left us. I was sad, thinking my children were suffering with their new reality. However, after our simple dinner, we went out to look at Christmas lights and came back for a homemade dessert. The children told me it was their best Christmas ever. They reminded me what Christmas is really about.
Thank you for the opportunity to win this gift card; it would be extremely helpful.

One of my favorite memories was when my dad was stationed in Germany and we went to a Christmas celebration downtown. They had gluwein (a german sweet warm wine) and I got to taste it. They had german cakes and cookies and celebrated lighting a tree.
Tara says
My most favorite memory is coming down the stairs early early on Christmas morning to all the tree lights and decorations still on. Checking out the presents from Santa under the tree and in the stockings. Looking that he ate the cookies and drank the milk. Just that moment of wonder and excitement to myself. Then I would go back to bed and wait until everyone in the family was awake to open presents.
Erika W. says
My favorite holiday memory is the first Christmas with my daughter. She has brought such joy to our family and I love all the pictures of everyone holding her by the Christmas tree.

Thanks for sharing this recipe. My kids haven't had homemade sugar cookies since their food allergy diagnosis. Oh that's about 5 years ago. Can't wait to make this soon.
Melanie says
My favorite memory is one that is funny now, but it really was not back then.
My family has always opened one gift on Chistmas Eve. It was fun because Dad always said no, but we would argue and argue knowing we would eventually win.
One Christmas Eve, when I was a young teen, I agreed to babysit for some friends so "santa" could go out and get a christmas tree (their tradition).
When I got home to my house that evening, I discovered that Dad had told my brother and sister that they could open ALL of their presents since he had to work Christmas morning. Christmas was over.
I was devastated since for me, the joy is also in watching others.
*sigh*

My favorite memory was one Christmas when I had given away toys for a collection for less fortunate children but regretted giving one favorite doll. Somehow my father was able to retrieve that particular doll back and presented it to me on Christmas morning. I thought he was lost to me and had really mourned his loss but my dad brought him back. I was one very happy little girl.

Anna says
My mom was the family cookie lady, she baked an amazing variety of cookies and Christmas treats. That's my constant and favorite memory, and now I work hard to recreate at least a few of those cookies so my children can safely consume them. I also love trying others' recipes. I've already made two batches of sugar cookies but I still may make this one between now and Christmas, lol. My husband loves Sugar cookies!
Dee Fedor says
My best memory of Christmas is all the thousands of cookies I made with my Mom and younger sister. They are both gone now, but they are with me when I make the same cookies now. Only thing that is changed is they are now all Gluten-Free!

Spending time with family
Heather says
My favorite holiday memory is when a group of NICU nurses came in early or stayed late to work out how I could hold my son for the first time on Christmas Eve he was 3 weeks old and I had not been able to hold him yet. It took 5 nurses to handle all of his wires, cords etc in order for me to hold him for 10 min. It was the best gift ever. I will forever be grateful.
Kristin says
I loved that we never had that post-gift-opening letdown. We opened our presents in the morning, had a nice dinner, and then the house filled up with aunts and uncles and cousins all afternoon! 🙂

TJ Toronto says
Hi there, does anyone have any comments on the actual cookie that this recipe creates? Are they crunchy, chewy, grainy, comparatively sweet, etc? I've looked at the post and the comments a few times and can't get a sense of how they actually turn out. Any notes on the cookies themselves would be very helpful. Thanks in advance! 🙂
Megan says
Hi TJ,
These cookies can vary from soft to crispy, depending on how thin you roll them out, and how long you bake them. I prefer to roll mine out to 1/4 inch, then try to catch them when they are just done (NOT golden), so they stay a little soft. BUT, if I misjudge the baking time and they end up crispy, my family still loves them. To me, these cookies are not grainy, unless you use a ton of excess flour to roll them out. Hope that helps!
KANEEZ FARID says
Hi there
Did you use all natural food dyes for the cookies above?? I want to stick to natural food dyes.
Thank you,
Kaneez
Megan says
Hi Kaneez,
No, what you see above it artificial food dye. Not what I would normally use, but for pictures of decorated cookies (for marketing) that's what I decided to use. To feed my family, I either don't dye the frosting, OR I use beet powder for a pretty pink color.
Lisa says
I’m so excited to try this recipe! Do you have any suggestions for replacing the Miller flour? Would tiger but or teff flour be a good replacement? Or maybe cassava?
Thanks!
Mēgan says
Hi Lisa,
I would try subbing it with a combination of sorghum flour/brown rice flour. I've never worked with tiger nut, and cassava isn't something I would try in this recipe.
