   Cookie Cutter Sugar Cookies GFCF 1 1/2 c sugar 1 c butter flavor Crisco 4 egg yolks 1 tsp dried orange peel or GFCF vanilla 1 1/2 c potato starch flour 2/3 c cornstarch 2/3 c tapioca flour 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 1) In large mixing bowl, blend sugar and Crisco 2) Add yolks and peel or vanilla 3) In separate bowl, mix remaining dry ingredients. 4) Add to first mixture. It will seem crumbly, but work dough until balls form. 5) Roll out 1/8" thick. 6) Cut shapes and transfer to greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 8-10 min I have only made the dough so far and will roll out etc. later. So, I can't speak for results. Good Luck Kristine

   I adapted a recipe from my mom's old Betty Crocker cookbook tonight and liked the results. I used butter but the recipe should work with margarine. I don't know if shortening or coconut butter would work, I think butter/margarine provides some of the flavor. I would not suggest using dark buckwheat flour instead of the light. Dark buckwheat flour is not only much stronger, it has a different liquid to flour ratio than light buckwheat flour. Sugar Cookies 1/2 c sugar 3/8 c butter 1 egg 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1 c light buckwheat flour 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking powder Cream butter and sugar well. Add egg and vanilla, beating until light. Combine dry ingredients, add to butter mixture. Mix until combined. Roll out dough 3/8" thick using generous amounts of flour. Bake cookies at 375F until edges are barely darker than rest of cookie. Cool on a cooling rack. Yield: 12-24 cookies (depends on cookie cutter size)
