So sorry, I forgot something that may help those of you that had a problem with "crumbling cookies". I made my dough and refrigerated it over night. I rolled them while the dough was still pretty firm and used a small ice cream scoop so there wasn't much rolling time necessary.

I made these for my husband for Christmas. Made 5 dozen. They came out as nice if not better then those made with regular flour. And I just took some out of the freezer last night and freezing seemed to improve the texture even more. Thank you Betty Crocker.

These were excellent. I have made Russian Tea Cookies for years and these were excellent. I am happy to have found one of my favorite holiday cookies can be made gluten free. There are best the next day. They are as delicate as my original recipe.
