Vanilla Cookies

1/3 cup margarine or shortening
1 egg
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 ½ cups flour (gluten free)
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 tablespoon water (if necessary)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Cream together the sugars, shortening, egg, vanilla, and salt. Add flour, xanthan gum and baking powder. Beat until the dough comes together-if necessary add the water-and continue to mix until you can gather the dough into a ball. The dough should have the consistency of very fresh play dough.
Roll the dough into very small balls and flatten to a wafer with the bottom of a sugar dipped glass or cookie stamp. Bake for 15 minutes until cookies are golden brown.
