Gluten-free flour works great! (That’s the only way I can enjoy these; when I make them for myself, I use a oat flour-tapioca-rice flour blend).

Kara, they don’t change shape (they stay the same size as the ball you roll it into) Try not to over-mix; when using gluten (wheat) it is possible to over-mix, but those of use who use gluten-free flour don’t need to worry about that Also, may sure the butter or non-dairy butter isn’t melted; it needs to be soft, like room temperature, but not too the point where it is actually melted.

Happy baking and Happy New Year!

Yum! These sound delectable… I’ll be subbing an almond/tapioca/rice flour mix for all purpose to make these gluten free. Thanks for the inspiration!

these look delicious! and a gluten-free flour could be substituted for the all-purpose as well. I’m all about the sparkly ginger cookies at Christmas, and frosted sugar cookies, and…
