Santa Approved GF Cookies


Hello Reader,

'Tis the season for festive treats! We’ve gathered a batch of gluten-free Christmas cookie recipes that are so good, even Santa won’t notice they’re GF. From classic cutouts to decadent thumbprints, there's a cookie for every craving.

Not gluten free? Click here and I won't send you any more GF baking recipes.

Gingerbread

My gingerbread has some spice to it. I even add a smidge black pepper for a touch of fun. Gluten-Free. Dairy-Free Option.

Sugar Cookie Cut Outs

I mix almond and vanilla for extra flavor. Use my royal meringue icing for easy decorating. Gluten-Free. Dairy-Free Option.

Italian Rainbow Cookies

Did you know that these almond-flavored Italian cookies are actually layers of sponge cake with jam in between? Gluten-Free. Dairy-Free Option.

Jam Thumbprints

If you're having a hard time cutting squash, you can soften it in the microwave before cutting into it. Gluten-Free. Dairy Free Option.

Classic Shortbread

Eat them plain or try my favorite; dipped in chocolate with a sprinkle of pistachio. Gluten-Free. Egg-Free. Dairy-Free Option.

For any of these recipes, to make them dairy-free I suggest the Earth Balance sticks. If dairy, but not lactose, is okay, try 4th and Heart Ghee baking sticks.

Stay sweet, keep baking, and may your holidays be as warm as a freshly baked tray of cookies! 🍪

(P.S. Don’t crumble under holiday stress—it’s just cookies!)
