Gluten Free Sour Cream Sugar Cookies

I know it has been awhile since I have posted any recipes.  I apologize for that.  Life has just been really busy and I haven't found the time to post.  Here is my all time favorite sugar cookie recipe that I have altered to make it gluten free.  No hard cookies here - just soft and fluffy cookies!!!  Just a note:  There is no frosting on these cookies because I used them to make mini fruit pizzas for my husband's 40th birthday party.


Ingredients:
1/2 cup           butter
1 1/2 cups      sugar
1 tsp                vanilla
2                       eggs
4 1/2 cups       featherlight mix *
1 1/2 tsp          xanthan gum
2 tsp                 baking powder
1/2 tsp             salt
1/2 tsp             baking soda
1 cup                sour cream

Directions:
Thoroughly cream butter & sugar.  Add vanilla & eggs, mix well.  Whisk together dry ingredients.  Add dry ingredients & sour cream alternately.  Mixing well after each addition.  Cover and put in fridge for at least an hour.  (It will make it easier to work with the dough as it is very sticky.)  Roll out on well floured counter/board and cut.**  Bake at 370 degrees for 8-9 minutes.  Frost with your favorite frosting.

** Like I did when I made them this time, you can scoop (I used a 2 tbsp scoop.) roll into a ball and flatten with the bottom of a floured glass cup and bake like normal.
