Chewy Sugar Cookies (Gluten-free)
These delicious “drop” cookies are rolled in sugar just before baking, leaving you with a perfectly sweet, buttery cookie that won’t last long in the cookie jar! One of the best parts about making these cookies: you don’t even need a mixer! Just grab three bowls, a whisk, and a spatula and you are ready to mix! Plates of these delicious chewy sugar cookies have vanished very quickly around here, so I can’t tell you how many days they stay great for. The longest we’ve had any left to consume was 2 days, and they were still perfect!

NOTES
*I've tested this with Gluten Free Mama's Almond Flour Blend and gfJules flour and recommend either! If using a flour blend that already includes xanthan or guar gum, then omit the xanthan called for in the recipe.
