Notes

A few tips,
Really any pre made gluten free sugar cookie mix will do. The King Arthur line has some really nice premade box cookie mixes.
The butter should be at room temperature, sometimes I forget and will heat in the microwave for 15 seconds, all microwave temperatures can be different you'll want to heat in increments. I've also use a ceramic glass filled with hot water leave in for 1 minute, pour out water and place stick of butter in glass and cover with a towel for a few minutes.
Don't over mix the dough the cookies will be hard.
Gluten free cookies hold up better if they are allowed to cool longerĀ
