Soft and buttery Gluten-Free Princess Cookies made with oat flour and Princess Cake and Cookie Emulsion. These egg free cookies have a shortbread-style texture and a nostalgic flavor that taste just like classic childhood cookies.
Preheat oven to 350℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, honey, salt, baking soda, and Princess Cake & Cookie Emulsion until smooth and creamy.
Add the oat flour and mix until a dough forms.The dough will feel both slightly sticky and dry at the same time - this is normal.
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a flattened disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.Chilling helps the dough hold together when rolling.
Lightly flour your work surface with oat flour. Roll one disc to about ¼ inch thick with a regular rolling pin.
Lightly dust the rolled-out dough with oat flour and roll again with an embossed rolling pin to create the design.
Cut into shapes using your preferred cookie cutter and carefully transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 8-9 minutes, or until the edges are just set.Do not overbake - these are meant to stay soft.
Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before moving; they will firm up as they cool.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
