White chocolate sugar cookies
Cook Time
8 mins
 

(Gluten-free, dairy-free, can be grain-free)

Servings: 16
Ingredients
  • 1/2 C butter, softened to room temperature 115g, use dairy-free shortening if needed
  • 3/4 C sugar 150g
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 C 190g all-purpose gluten-free flour see below for grain-free options
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 C white chocolate chips dairy-free
Instructions
  1. Cream the softened butter until smooth, then add sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Mix in the egg and the vanilla and set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar and spices.
  3. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 3 different parts. The dough is quite thick and you may have to stir the rest by hand.
  4. Once combined, fold in the white chocolate chips.
  5. Scoop large sections of dough and roll into balls. Make sure the balls are taller, rather than wide.

  6. Chill the balls on a cookie sheet for at least 2 hours and up to 48 hours in the refrigerator.  This step is VERY important - do not skip it!

  7. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350F and prepare baking pans.
  8. Bake chilled cookie dough for 8 minutes. The cookies will appear undone and very soft. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 3 minutes and more to wire rack to cool completely.
Recipe Notes

To make these grain-free, substitute the 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour blend with 1 cup almond flour and 1/4 cup tapioca flour.
