GLUTEN FREE FROSTED COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Mash bananas in a large bowl until almost smooth. Use an electric mixer or fork to do this. Add the granulated and brown sugars. Mix until combined. Add the melted butter and eggs and mix until smooth. Mixture will be thin. Stop the mixer and add the dry ingredients. Mix until a batter forms. Add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined
• Spread batter into the prepared pan. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
• Cool cake in the pan. Once cake is cool frost with cream cheese frosting (recipe included) or chocolate or vanilla buttercream.
• Store cake wrapped on the counter for up to three days. Freeze cooled and frosted cake for up to three months.
• For the Cream Cheese Frosting

Steps:

• Using your hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until nice and fluffy. Add egg and beat until incorporated. Reduce speed to low and add sour cream and vanilla and beat, until well combined, scraping down the bowl with a silicone spatula.
• In a separate bowl, sift in the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt and whisk together. Turn the mixer on low and slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Remove half of the dough from the fridge. Working with a 1-tablespoon-sized piece of dough at a time, roll into a round ball. Place dough ball onto the prepared baking pan (spacing about 2 inches apart) and use the bottom of a glass cup or the back of a large spoon to press and evenly flatten.
• Bake on middle rack in preheated oven for 9-13 minutes or until the cookies are just starting to turn golden (NOT brown) on the edges (switching and rotating baking sheets about halfway through). Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on the sheet. Cookies will continue to cook while they cool. Repeat with any remaining dough.
• To make the butter cream frosting: Cream butter in a stand mixer or using your hand mixer for 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add salt, vanilla then slowly add 2 cups of powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Add heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time then add the remainder of powdered sugar until desired consistency and taste is reached (you may not need it all) and continue to beat until smooth.
• Once cookies have cooled completely, frost and add sprinkles, if desired. Allow frosting to set, then store in an air-tight container.
