The most wonderful time of the year comes with the most delicious, gluten-free Sugar Cookies!
Recipe dating back to my Grandmother’s sister, these are the perfect texture and taste light, crisp, subtle butter flavor and not too sweet (despite being slightly over-decorated by my elves!).
Every holiday season we have our annual Cookie Baking Day with longtime friends & family, and it is always one of my favorite days of the holiday season!
Cookie baking day has been a tradition since I was a kid and the crew here today included 6 kids that have been baking together since they were babies. Two of them were diagnosed with celiac disease over 10 years ago and we’ve been baking our family recipes gluten-free ever since (we like using GF Jules all purpose flour – affiliate link ).
As an aside, you may have noticed that we are affiliate for GFJules. To learn more about why we love GFJules flour and why we have used it for 10 years, click here. Bonus: at the bottom of that post is a one-time use affiliate Discount Code.
And importantly, purchasing through an affiliate link does not change your cost at all. It generates a small percentage of the sale for me, and purchasing through an affiliate link helps me fund this website and all the recipes I share, so thank you!
Back to the Gluten-Free Roll Out Sugar Cookies…
These Roll Out Cookies are always the last recipe we make of the day.
They take time because there is a lot of dough and we roll them thin.
But the kids love decorating them and everyone loves eating the,m so it is worth it!
Hope you love these as much as we do!

Tried this recipe for the first time this year and the cookies were perfect! Kept their shape and tasted delicious too. Only used an extra half cup of flour and baked for a few minutes less because of my oven. Definitely will keep this recipe for any roll out cookie needs throughout the year.
So happy you loved them Lydia! Thanks for sharing!
I want to make these, but I don’t have a bread mixer. What else could I use? Can I make it with a hand mixer or just by hand?
You can do it by hand but maybe cut the recipe in 1/2 as it’s a lot of dough… enjoy!
We have tried a different sugar cookie recipe every year trying to find a better one. We tried this one this year and we have now found our permanent sugar cookie recipe. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.
Aw, this makes me so happy! This recipe has a lot of personal meaning to us, so means a lot when others love it too! Thank you!
