    Allergy Friendly Cut Out Sugar Cookies

    We have a lot of allergies in my family from nuts, gluten and eggs so we have to be careful with everything we make. After many times trying different mixture of ingredients I think I finally nailed the perfect allergy friendly cookies.

    They turned out to be the most delicious cookies ever that hold their shape with no crumble and have the best flavor. I made them for Christmas but you can definitely use this recipe for any occasion such as Valentine’s Day, Easter, etc.

    Let’s make cookies!

    • Super easy to make – just mix all the ingredients together, roll out the dough, and cut out your shapes.

    • Natural applesauce

    • Gluten free flour
    • Baking powder

    How to Make Allergy Free Sugar Cookies

    1. In a bowl or standing mixer, cream butter and sugar together with mixer.
    2. Add applesauce, milk and vanilla and beat together until full incorporated.
    3. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients while beating as adding. Mix until fully combined and dough forms.
    4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
    5. Preheat over to 375 degrees F.
    6. Line a countertop with parchment paper and flour the rolling pin and surface with gluten free flour. Roll the dough to about ⅛ inch thickness.
    7. Using the cookie cutter cut out the shapes. Place on lined baking sheet. Repeat till all the dough has been used.
    8. Bake 6-8 minutes or until lightly golden brown around the edges.
    9. Allow cookies to cool completely before icing.
    10. Decorate with gluten free icing and sprinkles and store in an airtight container.

    Recipe Tips

    • Be sure to roll out the dough on top of floured parchment paper. This will prevent it from sticking to your rolling pin and countertop.
    • If the dough is too sticky, you can add more flour (a little at a time) until it forms a smooth ball that is easy to work with.
    • Use cookie cutters of your choice to create fun shapes. Or, if you want something really simple, just use a glass or cup to cut out circles.

    Storing Leftovers

    • Store remaining leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
    • To freeze, store in a freezer safe container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw out in fridge over night before consuming.

    FAQs

    Can I make these sugar cookies dairy free?

    Yes, you use dairy or non dairy milk.

    Do I have to chill the sugar cookie dough?

    Yes, the chilling process is necessary as the dough is too sticky and would not roll out properly.

    Can I make these cookies without a cookie cutter?

    Yes! You can use a knife to cut the dough into shapes or simply make small balls.

    What kind of food coloring did you use?

    I used the great value brand from Walmart.

    What kind of sprinkles did you use?

    I used whatever was available at Walmart, the great value brand.
