Instructions
- Combine flour mix, baking powder and salt in a bowl and set aside.

- Transfer dough onto plastic film, flatten into a disc, wrap tightly and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until very firm.
- Preheat oven to 375?F.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and arrange 3-inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Flatten slightly to 1/2-inch thickness using a glass that has been dipped in sugar.
- OR divide dough into 3 portions; refrigerate 2 of the portions. Lightly dust counter with Gluten-Free Flour Mix. Roll one portion of dough into a circular shape that is about 1/4-inch thick. Use favourite cookie cutters to cut out shapes. Place cookies on baking sheets that have been sprayed with cooking spray. Repeat with remaining dough.
