Springtime Sugar Cookies


1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 cup tapioca flour
3/4 cup sorghum flour
3/4 cup almond meal flour
1/2 cup white rice flour
1/2 cup millet flour
1/4 cup amaranth flour

Mix all ingredients together. Roll dough on plastic cutting board, dusting with lots of rice flour, so the flour will not stick to cutting board. Once the dough is rolled out smooth, place the dough on the plastic sheet in the freezer for approximately 5 minutes. Remove dough from freezer, and punch out your cookies with the cookie cutter shapes. Using spatula, carefully remove the cookies from the plastic sheet and place on baking sheet. I like to line my baking sheet with parchment paper, so the cookies do not burn. Bake in preheated oven at 345 Fahrenheit, until cookies are slightly golden. Do not over bake. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet. Once the cookies have completely cooled, remove from baking sheet and place on cooling rack. Feel free to frost your cookies, add sprinkles, decorate with pretty little edible flowers!
