Cinnamon Sugar Butter Cookies


Topping:

3 tbsp white sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon

Mix together and set aside.

2 cups Authentic Foods GF Flour mix (add a tsp of xantham gum if mix doesn't already have it)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup brown sugar packed
1/2 cup white sugar
2 sticks butter, softened
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla

preheat oven to 325.

In large bowl mix sugars with the butter till smooth (will be grainy, just get out any lumps of sugar). Add eggs and vanilla, blend.

mix the rest of the dry ingredients together and add to butter sugar mix. Blend at low speed until smooth.

Shape dough into 1 inch balls and roll in topping mix. place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, flatten slightly. Place about 2 inches apart. Bake 15-18 minutes until slightly browned. Remove to wire rack and cool.

**this is an old favorite recipe that was easy to adapt to GF. I only had to decrease the flour a bit and add the xantham gum**

**also, just a little hint, I was out of eggs, so I used a meringue powder as a substitute....the instructions were on the label ......I used enough for 3 egg whites to replace the 2 whole eggs I didn't have!***
