Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened can be substituted with coconut oil for a vegan option
  • 1 large egg can be substituted with a flax egg for a vegan option
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional Add-ins

  4. In a separate bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until well combined.
