Sugar cookies are the simplest cookies to make. A timeless classic enjoyed by itself, or with ice cream and whipped cream. Most cookie recipes are based on adaptations of the basic recipe. For gluten free this is no different. For people who are diabetic and gluten free, these recipes can be a challenge. A little extra sugar is often added to improve the taste of gluten free flours. Some websites cover baking gluten and sugar free. Alternatives to cookies, such as peanut butter candy, are included in this cookbook.
