Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 0.25 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For Rolling

  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mix, stirring until just combined.
  • In a small bowl, mix together 2 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon for rolling.
  • Roll the dough into balls and then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.

Baking

  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are soft.
  • Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For the best texture, mix the dry ingredients into the wet slowly to avoid over-mixing. For extra flair, consider adding chocolate chips or nuts!
