Sugar Cookies

1 c. sugar
1 c. butter, softened
2 egg yolks
1/1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 c. GF flour blend (below)
1/4 tsp. salt

Combine sugar and butter- beat at med. speed until creamy. Add yolks and vanilla. Reduce speed to low; add flour mix and salt. Beat well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour until firm. Heat oven to 350. Roll out dough on GF flour sprinkled surface one-third to one half at a time. Cut out with cookie cutters. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake about 8 mins. until the edges are lightly browned. Let stand a couple of minutes before removing form cookie sheets. Cool completely before decorating.

Gluten free Flour blend for cookies: 2 c, rice flour, 2/3 c. potato starch, 1/3 c. tapioca flour and 1 tsp. xanthan gum or guar gum.

These roll easily, hold together, are light, and actually taste better than the wheat flour recipe.
