Serves: 16-24 cookies
Ingredients
  • 8 Tbsp butter, at room temperature
  • ½ cup cane sugar (115g)
  • ½ cup brown sugar (75g)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1¾c Gluten-Free 1-for-1 Baking Flour (220g)**
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp cashew milk (or regular milk for non-dairy-free)
For dipping
  • 1 Tbsp cane sugar
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
Directions
  1. Cream the room temperature butter and sugar together with a stand mixer or electric mixer until smooth. Add in the egg and vanilla, mixing well until the ingredients are all incorporated. I set a timer for 2 minutes and just let it rip!
  2. While it's mixing, in a small bowl - combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and 2 tsp cinnamon. With the speed on low, gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture. Mix until the dough all comes together, and add in the 2 Tbsp milk.
  3. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. When the time is almost up, preheat the oven to 375F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 Tbsp cane sugar, 1 Tbsp brown sugar, and 2 tsp cinnamon (for dipping).
  6. Remove the dough bowl from the fridge and make 1½ inch dough balls. I used a cookie scoop! Once they are rolled, dip and roll them around in the cinnamon sugar mixture before transferring to the cookie sheets. Lightly press down on each cookie with a fork to make a small indentation.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes on the hot baking sheet before removing to a cooling rack.
Notes
**I have used both Bob's Red Mill GF baking flour and the King Arthur Measure for Measure Gluten-Free Blend with great results!
