World's Greatest Sugar Cookies

 

These are just regular sugar cookies, not in shapes but still really delicious. I think I got the recipe from the newspaper years ago.

1 Cup butter

1 Cup powdered sugar (or make your own Splenda powdered sugar, or use Swerve)

granulated sugar (or Splenda, or any sweetener)

2 eggs

1 Cup oil

2 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. cream of tartar

1/2 tsp. salt

5 Cups flour (I have used Ener-G rice flour or a combination of brown rice flour, coconut flour and almond flour)

In medium bowl, cream butter with powdered sugar and 1 Cup granulatedsugar. Beat in eggs until smooth. Slowly stir in oil, vanilla,baking soda, cream of tartar, salt and flour.

Chill for easy handling. Shape into walnut-size balls. Dip insugar. Place on baking sheet and press down (these will spread, though, more than the wheat flour versions). Bake at 350 degrees 10-

12 minutes. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.

I have made these with assorted gluten-free flours such as buckwheat, almond flour, and rice flour. They came out great. I also can't really have all this sugar, so I only used  splenda. They were delicious! (Note: white rice flour is high in carbs, so that's why I don't use that any more)

Enjoy!
