I love sugar cookie cut outs, I think they're the perfect sweet treat for every holiday and so fun to decorate. Ever since I was a kid, my Mom would always bake up sugar cookie cut outs for my friends and I to decorate. Since having to go gluten free, I've had tried concocting several gluten free sugar cookie recipes and pre-made gluten free sugar cookie mixes but none of them are thick enough for me to make cookie cut outs with, no matter how hard I try! :( So recently I was at Whole Foods and stumbled across Pamela's Sugar Cookie Mix which is gluten free, wheat free and dairy free(depends on if you use egg & butter substitute) it was on sale for $4.99 and said "roll & cut" on the bag so I thought I would put it to the test. Turns out this mix is perfect for cookie cut outs as long as you use some all purpose gluten free flour when cutting them out! I was so excited that I just had to share! Read below to learn how to make the perfect sugar cookie cut outs thanks to Pamela's Products! :)

Place a handful of your dough on top of the flour covered parchment paper. Place the second piece of parchment paper on top of the dough. Roll over the parchment paper with your rolling pin to roll the dough flat.
Step 3: Once your dough is flat, remove the top piece of parchment paper and use your cookie cut outs to cut into your dough, removing excess dough as you go.
