Gluten-Free Sugar Cookies - #2

1 cup shortening
¼ cup margarine
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 ½ cup rice flour
2 tbsp tapioca starch
2 ½ tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder

Preheat oven to 350 F. Cream shortening, margarine, and sugar together. Add eggs then vanilla. Fold in dry ingredients. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours (this is an essential step for rolling gluten-free dough). Knead until pliable before rolling dough on floured surface until ¼ inch thick (for best results roll on mixture of 3 parts flour to 1 part sugar). Bake for 10-12 minutes (time will vary based on thickness of rolled dough).

GF Homemade Oreos

Homemade Oreo Cookies

2 boxes chocolate cake mix
½ cup butter
4 eggs

Preheat oven to 350 F. With an electric mixer beat cake mixes, butter, and eggs together. Spoon dough onto ungreased cookie sheet (keep in mind, not too big). Bake for 9 – 12 minutes. When cool, ice bottom of one cookie with cream cheese icing then press another cookie to it making a sandwich. (With the Kinnikinnick Gluten-free cake mix you will want to use 1-2 extra eggs for best results—you’ll know it’s enough when the mixture is moist and can form balls)

Cream Cheese Icing

1-250g package of cream cheese
½ cup butter
3-4 cups icing sugar

Cream the cream cheese and butter together using an electric mixer. Add icing sugar gradually until desired consistency is achieved.
