How to Make Sugar Cookies Without Flour

Whether you cannot ingest flour or if you discovered that you did not have any in the house, you can still make sugar cookies. These are simple and only require a few ingredients you likely already have on hand. The trick is in the baking. You will need to watch these when they are in the oven carefully since they will burn quickly. These cookies will crumble when you first take them out of the oven, but they harden as they cool. Try these cookies with a large glass of milk or a cup of strong tea. They are very sweet and pair well with other assertive flavors.
