about 18 ½ cups

Finely ground rice flour

2 ½ cups

5 cups

7 ½ cups

Sorghum flour

1 ½ cups

3 cups

4 ½ cups

½ cup

1 cup

1 ½ cups

Potato starch

¾ cup + 2 T

1 ¾ cups

2 ½ cups

    Angela, Thank you for posting this delicious recipe! I have been GF for 7 years, but now, I have 2 daughters that are also GF. I can do without, but it isn't that easy for kids, as you probably well know. I made these for the first time a few days ago for Christmas. WOW! These taste almost exactly the same as I remember regular sugar cookies! They were easy to work with too! I was so delighted and appreciate all the work you have done and shared here willingly to help others. Thank you, thank you! Kimberly

    Great cookies! The first time I made them they were crumbly and what could be saved was like sand. The second time I added milk to moisten, and they were delicious. Does anyone know how best to store the dough?

      Hi, Lana. I am glad the dough ended up working out for you. I refrigerate the dough if I am baking it off in the next day or so. But if I am needing to store the dough for longer, I'll wrap really well and freeze it. To use, I thaw overnight in the fridge while still wrapped before rolling and baking off.

I am so happy when someone tries one of my recipes. I do ask, though, that you link back to the recipe instead of posting it on your site unless you have made major changes.
