Special Precautions and Tips:
- Make sure to use a gluten-free flour blend that contains xanthan gum. This will help the cookies to bind together and create the right texture.
- If you don't have a stand mixer, you can cream the butter and sugar together with a hand mixer or wooden spoon. However, it will take a bit more time.
- Don't overmix the dough. This can result in tough cookies.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. If you underbake them, they will be too soft and gooey. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
