Suzanne,

 just spent several hours baking sugar cookies. They're delicious and very
easy, but if you're looking to ship them, it will be the wrong recipe. They
crumble. in the mail This recipe appears online at various times. My non-gf
"kids" (grown-ups) love them.

Soft Sugar Cookies
I made four batches of cookies tonight....I doubled the recipe twice.
Chilled the first batch of dough, while working with the second. Here's the
recipe for one normal batch.

 2/3 c. shortening...I used Fleishman's parve (non-dairy) margarine for
one double batch, and then I used whatever I had in my frig....a combination
of the remaining margarine, butter (left out to soften a bit), and some
Crisco.
 3/4 c. sugar
 1/2 tsp. vanilla
 1 egg
 4 tsp. milk
 2 cups gf flour .... see below
 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
 1/4 tsp. salt
 1 tsp. xanthan gum

Cream first 3 ingredients.  Add egg and beat until light and fluffy. Stir
in milk. (You can add egg and milk and vanilla at the same time.)
Sift together dry ingredients and blend into creamed mixture.
Divide dough in half and chill 1 hour.  Roll (slightly thick) out only
lightly gf floured surface. Bake on greased cookie sheet for 6-8 minutes
at 375.  (Gee whiz. After 3 hours of baking, I just noticed this. I baked
mine at 350. In fact, one of my ovens bakes on the hot side, so I ended up
lowering it a bit. It's a convection oven and generally needs a lower temp.
But I had my normal oven on 350. Cookies took 8 minutes.)

I use Betty Hagman's recipe - 2 c. rice flour, 2/3 c. potato starch, 1/3 c.
tapioca flour.

I sprinkled colored sugar crystals on the cookies before baking and pressed
them into the dough alittle. I'm awful at cookie decorating.

You'll need plenty of gf flour on hand to keep the dough from sticking to
the rolling surface or rolling pin.
