Gluten-Free Christmas Sugar Cookies

These Gluten-Free Sugar Cookies are truly perfect for Christmas! They're soft, sweet, lightly crisp on the outside, and perfectly chewy on the inside. The dough comes together so easily, then the dough is rolled out and cut into shapes (or rolled into a log and sliced). Bake, add icing, and enjoy!
