Slice and Bake sugar cookies

This will make 4 logs that can be frozen, sliced and then tossed on a cookie sheet for baking when ever you want.

2 cups butter, softened

2 cups sugar

3 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

1 tsp lemon extract or almond

6 cups gf flour

1 tsp baking soda

Cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, vanilla and extract until light and fluffy. In separate bowl combine flours and baking soda. Whisk them together thoroughly. Gradually stir flour mixture into egg mixture until blended. Divide into 4 equal pieces and shape into 4 logs using wax paper or plastic wrap. Wrap air tight and place in an air tight plastic container in your freezer.

To bake 1 roll of dough:

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease baking sheets or use silicon baking mat on cookie sheet(my preference). Cut frozen dough 1/4″ thick. Place slices on baking sheet about 1/2″ apart. Bake 8-10 minutes or more if you like them crispy. Remove from cookie sheets and cool on wire rack.

*If you bake them less and keep them soft they are perfect for ice cream sandwiches.

My sister and her two year old daughter have just been diagnosed with Celiac’s Disease. I have been pushing my entire family to get tested because they all have stomach problems. My sister was told she could not be tested while she was pregnant so when one of her daughters started to show signs they both went in. She does have three other children that will also need to be tested.

She is starting to feel the overwhelming  stress that many of us feel when we were first diagnosed.

I want this transition to be as easy as possible. While researching local stores for her we remembered that when I visited two years ago we went shopping at a Harris Teeter store. Just out of curiosity I went to their website. To my delight, I found they have a system where you can enter your desired items online into a list and pick them up at your local store. I searched through their groceries and found many GF items. This was a long process but once you have the list made it couldn’t be easier. I created a username and password for her and now she has access to an entire list of GF products at a store she can go to at her convenience. I don’t have a Harris Teeter anywhere near me but this is a great resource for her living in North Carolina.
