Baking cut-out cookies with my kids is one of my favorite traditions, and this gluten-free sugar cookie recipe is my go-to. Each year, we pick a new cookie design that's fun to decorate together. Our annual Christmas cookie decorating party is always a highlight, and my kids absolutely love being creative with their cookie designs.
