THE BEST sugar cookie recipe!!!

I used to make sugar cookies with my mom and we used this sesame street cookie cutters where you can choose a mouth and the eyes and mix up the sesame street characters. It is a VERY fond memory for me and one I have wanted to do with my kids. Well, I have tried numerous times to make a cookie that would work AND taste good and finally I found it!!! PLEASE try this.. it is amazing. I found this from glutenfreesteve.wordpress.com.

Gluten Free Cut Out Sugar Cookies
1 1/2 cups powder sugar
1 cup butter
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 1/4 cup white rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1/2 cup potato starch (NOT potato flour)
1/4 cup sweet rice flour
1 tsp xanthan gum
Few drops of lemon oil or maybe 1.4 tsp of lemon peel.
(I did not have either lemon oil or peel so I omitted it)

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. Whisk together the dry ingredients. Add to the butter mixture and mix well. Gather the dough into a ball and refrigerate covered for at least 2 hours. When ready to roll out, sprinkle sweet rice flour on the surface of counter and top of ball of dough. Roll portion of dough about a 1/4 inch thick. Cut out favorite shapes.

Bake at 375 for 5-7 minutes depending on how thick the dough. Cookies are done when edges start browning. Let cool then frost. I tried without frosting.. YUMM!!
