These gluten free crumbl cookies are thick, chewy and so easy to make. With a strawberry shortcake flavor, these gluten free cookies are dairy free friendly but taste just like the classic.
In a large mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar for about 1 full minute.
Add in the eggs, vanilla and almond extract.
Beat until well combine, about 30 seconds.
Add in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Be sure to spoon and level the flour, don't scoop from the bag.
Beat together until combined.
Use a 1/4 cup to scoop into large balls. Add to a baking sheet with parchment paper, keeping enough space between each. I don't recommend more than 6 per sheet. You can also make slightly smaller cookies using 2-3 tablespoons of dough.
Chill the fridge for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Bake for 12-16 minutes or until the edges are just barely golden brown. The center should look soft but not too doughy, they will continue to firm up as they cool.
Let cool completely, then top with frosting and jam. Enjoy!
Notes
The almond extract is optional but does help add to the strawberry shortcake flavor.
