• Preheat the oven to 350 F. On a lightly floured surface (using the same gluten-free flour), roll the cookie dough to 1/4-inch thickness.
• Cut out the cookies and place on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Remember to cut the cookies as close together as you can so you don't waste any dough. You can combine the scraps and reroll as much as needed.
• Bake until the edges and bottoms are barely beginning to turn golden brown, about 10 minutes.
• When the cookies are cool enough to handle but still warm, remove them from the pan and cool them on a wire rack. Let them cool completely before icing, if desired.

GLUTEN-FREE SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. With an electric mixer on high speed, beat the butter and sugar until very light and fluffy (it will be almost white), about 5 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium, add the egg and beat until fully incorporated, about 1 minute. Reduce the speed to low and slowly add in the pudding mix, rice flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Beat until the dough comes together, 1 to 2 minutes.
• For rolled cookies: Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour and up to 12 hours.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment. Pinch off 12 small pieces of dough and roll each one into a ball. Roll each ball in colored sanding sugar, cocoa powder or confectioners' sugar to coat, if using. Place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Bake the cookies until the cookies are slightly cracked on top and lightly golden brown on the bottom, 18 to 20 minutes. Let sit on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
• For cutout cookies: Divide the dough in half and form into 2 disks. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour and up to 12 hours. Place each disk between two pieces of parchment and roll to 1/8-inch thick. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Cut out cookies into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place 2 inches apart, on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
