Add 2 1/4 cups of Bob's Red Mill gluten free 1 to 1 baking flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Stir the mixture starting low and then increase to a higher setting until combined.

Roll the dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet.

Bake at 400°F for about 10 to 12 minutes, checking as they may take up to 20 minutes due to the gluten-free flour.

Once baked, let the cookies cool for about 5 to 10 minutes before dipping them in powdered sugar.

Dunk the warm cookies in powdered sugar to help it stick, then place them on a plate.

Sprinkle additional powdered sugar on top of the cookies while they are still warm.
