My favorite recipe for sugar cookies is basic, easy and very tasty, but not gluten free.  While I have no issues with Gluten, I do have several friends  that have eliminated gluten from their diet and so I was excited about trying out this mix as a way of making cookies that I could still share with them.

I decided to follow the directions to the letter when making these.  The mixing was easy with my Kitchenaid mixer, but I had a bit of a problem rolling them out.

I did not use cookie cutters, but instead just used my pizza wheel to make diagonal cuts which gave me diamond shaped cookies and little to no wasted dough.

And this was agreed upon by all that I shared them with.

Overall this may be a good cookie substitute for those wanting gluten free, but it's too bad that Pamela's couldn't cut back on some of the unnecessary sweetness that it seems to have.
