Prep Time 15 minutes

Servings: 40 cookies
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ c. butter softened
  • ½ c. powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp. almond extract
  • ½ c. millet flour
  • ½ c. tapioca starch
  • ¼ c. cornstarch
  • 1 tsp. xanthan gum
  • sprinkles or colored sugar for decorating

Method
 

  1. Begin by heating your oven to 300°F and lining baking sheets with parchment paper. Then whip the butter and sugar together until very light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together. Then slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix for an additional 5-6 minutes on medium-high speed. This is what creates the light and fluffy dough.
  2. Then scoop ¾-inch balls of dough and place on the cookie sheets. Next, use a fork to press the cookies down in the middle. Then place sprinkles or colored sugar on top.
  3. Bake the cookies for 22-25 minutes. The cookies should not brown-just set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving to a wire rack. Serve and enjoy!
