Gluten Free Cinnamon Bun Cookies Recipes

HOMEMADE GLUTEN-FREE CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine sugar and yeast for dough in a small bowl. Mix 1 3/4 cups flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, baking soda, and salt together in a second bowl.
• Place milk and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high, stirring every 15 seconds, until 110 to 115 degrees F (43 to 46 degrees C), about 45 seconds. Whisk into the yeast mixture and set aside to proof, about 5 minutes.
• Combine proofed yeast with olive oil, egg, and vanilla extract in a large bowl; mix for a moment and then slowly add in the flour mixture. Mix with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until dough thickens and loses some of its stickiness, about 1 1/2 minutes.
• Cover a work surface with a sheet of good quality plastic wrap and a light layer of flour. Place dough in the center and cover with a little more flour and another sheet of plastic wrap. Roll out to a 10x13-inch rectangle; remove top layer of plastic wrap.
• Combine brown sugar and cinnamon for filling in a small bowl. Spread melted butter over the entire dough rectangle and sprinkle brown sugar mixture evenly over top.
• Start at a long edge and roll the dough, using the plastic wrap to help lift and roll as you go. Lightly sprinkle dough with more flour and cut into 10 pieces with a sharp knife. Place rolls in a greased baking pan, cover with plastic wrap, and place in a warm spot to rise for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake rolls in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 22 to 27 minutes.
• While rolls are baking, beat butter and cream cheese for frosting in a mixing bowl until smooth. Add powdered sugar; mix until smooth. Mix in lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt.
• Remove cinnamon rolls from the oven and immediately drizzle frosting over top.

ZERO-GLUTEN CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place water in microwave and heat to 110 degrees F (43 degrees C). Combine with 1 tablespoon of sugar and yeast and set aside to proof for about 5 to 10 minutes. Mixture will bubble and start to foam.
• In a food processor, combine dry ingredients and pulse for 30 seconds until well blended.
• Once yeast is proofed, add in eggs, butter, milk, sugar, and vanilla. Mix briefly and slowly add flour mixture 1 cup at a time. Turn mixer up to medium-high and beat for 2 minutes. The dough will become less sticky as it is mixed.
• Cover a large cutting board or baking sheet with plastic wrap and dust with gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to tuck ends of plastic wrap under the edges of the board. Place dough on plastic wrap, dust with more gluten-free flour blend and cover again with plastic wrap. Roll out dough into a large rectangle and gently peel off top layer of plastic wrap.
• In a bowl, combine butter and almond butter. Microwave for about 30 seconds, until melted together. Spread mixture on top of dough. Evenly sprinkle the sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon on top of butter mixture. To roll the dough, start with the smaller side and gently tuck and roll your dough; untuck one end of the plastic wrap and pull in the direction you are rolling your dough to assist in keeping the roll tight.
• Using a serrated knife, cut roll into 8 even slices.
• Place rolls cut-side down on a buttered pie plate or cast iron skillet. Cover and let sit for 15 minutes.
• Bake 25 minutes until golden brown.
• While rolls are baking, place frosting ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat on high until smooth for about 3 minutes.
• Drizzle rolls with frosting as soon as they come out of the oven and serve warm.
