Gluten-Free Sugar Cookies
Having a gluten allergy doesn't have to stop anyone from enjoying a Holiday sugar cookie! These Gluten Free Sugar Cookies are soft on the inside with the perfect amount of sweetness inside. As a final touch I topped them with dye-free icing. My kids loved decorating them as you can see in these pictures and it made me feel good to be able to share them with my friends whose diets are gluten-free.
