Easy Gluten Free Mayonnaise Sugar Cookies

This is a really easy recipe and tastes great!  The raw dough will have a beany taste but this disappears once the cookie is baked.

Gluten Free Mayonnaise Cookies
1/2 fine rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup chickpea flour
1 1/2 teaspoons guar gum
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup regular mayonnaise
Mix all the dry ingredients together.  Add the vanilla extract and mayonnaise.  Mix well.  Shape into 1 inch balls and place on lightly greased baking sheet.  Press lightly with fork. Sprinkle on sugar if desired. Bake in preheated oven @ 350 for approx. 12- 15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.  Cool.   Makes 2 dozen.

Tips:  I made a double recipe, dividing the dough into 3 equal amounts.  To the first one add nothing - just shape and bake as above.  To the second add about 2 tablespoons cocoa powder and mix well. Then shape and bake.  To the third mix in some chocolate chips - shape and bake.
