Gluten-Free Spritz Cookies
These golden cookies are not just a treat; they’re a delicious adventure that will leave you and your guests smiling from ear to ear! So, pull up your apron, and let’s get started!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional, but recommended for that fancy touch)
- Colored sugar or sprinkles for decoration (because we all love a little sparkle!)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This is where the magic will happen—trust me!
- In a bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. This mixture is the dry party going on, so make sure it’s well combined!
- In another bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. You want it to be airy and delicious—like a cloud of sugary happiness!
- Add the egg and vanilla extract (and almond extract if you’re feeling fancy!). Mix until everything is well combined—just don’t let it turn into a dance party; we want a cohesive batter instead!
- Gradually, add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until you have a soft dough—gently, now; we don’t want to summon the cookie spirits with too much enthusiasm!
- Load your cookie press with the dough and give it a squeeze on the prepared baking sheet. Aim for a cute design like little trees or stars—whatever tickles your cookie creativity!
- Sprinkle with colored sugar or sprinkles because who doesn’t love a little added flair?
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them because nobody loves a burnt cookie!
- Once baked, let them cool on a rack before devouring them with reckless abandon—or sharing, if you must!
And there you have it—your kitchen is now a delightful bakery, filled with the enchanting aroma of gluten-free Spritz cookies. Treat yourself and your loved ones to these perfect little bites of joy. Enjoy every crumb!
