Soft, Chewy Drop Sugar Cookies
We really like sugar cookies, but I don’t always have the time to cut out the cookies. We also like soft, chewy sugar cookies. This is what I came up with to satisfy our sugar cookie sweet tooth. The kids at Awana really liked the cookies and didn’t even know they were gluten free.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 C gluten free flour
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 C butter
- 3 Tbsp sour cream
- 3 Tbsp cream cheese
- 1 C sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 drops of pure lemon extract
Directions:
- Mix together gluten free flour, baking soda, baking powder, and xanthan gum.
- In separate bowl, cream together cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Add in egg and lemon extract.
- Slowly add in the flour mixture until thoroughly mixed. This will be a soft, slightly sticky dough.
- Drop by tablespoonfuls on cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees F. Edges will be golden brown. Do not over bake!
- Allow to cool slightly on cookie sheet. Move to cooling rack to cool completely.
