Critical Success Points

  • Creating the precise gluten‑free flour blend
  • Properly creaming butter and sugar
  • Chilling the dough for at least 6 hours
  • Rolling to an even 1/4‑inch thickness
  • Re‑chilling cut cookies before baking
  • Rotating the pans halfway through baking

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot baking sheets with oven mitts; the cookies are very soft and can melt on contact.
  • Use caution when working with sharp cookie cutters.
  • Avoid inhaling powdered xanthan gum; wear a mask if you are sensitive.
