By tinathorn

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound butter
• 1 3/4 cups white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 15 ounces ricotta cheese
• 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
• 4 cups all-purpose gluten free flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon xanath (or guar) gum
• sprinkle cinnamon to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a medium bowl, cream together butter, sugar, eggs, ricotta cheese, and vanilla extract. Combine the flour, baking powder, and baking soda; blend into the creamed mixture, mixing in additional flour as necessary to form a workable dough. Roll dough into teaspoon-sized balls, and arrange on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned.
