To make the sugar cookies:

Place the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat on high speed until it's light and fluffy. Add the applesauce and vanilla and continue to mix.

Add the gluten free flour blend and salt and mix until combined. If the dough seems too dry, add a bit more applesauce. (I find that with GF flour blends, some of them soak up the wet ingredients more than others. If your dough seems too wet for sugar cookies, add some more flour. The dough should be quite stiff).

Divide the dough into two discs. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Spread waxed paper on your rolling surface and sprinkle with gluten free flour. Unwrap one of the discs and sprinkle liberally with gluten free flour as well.

Roll the dough to about 1/4 of an inch thickness. If the dough is too crumbly, add a little water. If the dough is sticking to the rolling pin, add more flour to the pin and the dough.

Cut out your cookies, and place them on the cookie sheets, leaving a little space between cookies.

Bake at 350 degrees F for about 9-11 minutes. Switch the two cookie sheets between the top and bottom oven racks halfway through baking time. The cookies should be just slightly golden brown on the edges. The time may vary depending on the size of your cookie cutters.

Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheets for about 15 minutes before moving them to cooling racks.

To make the frosting:

Add the confectioner’s sugar to a bowl. Drizzle in the milk/water and whisk until combined. If it’s too dry, add a bit more non-dairy milk.

Dip the cooled sugar cookies in the icing and top with sprinkles and candy if desired.
