Gluten-Free Christmas Cookies
“These are a few of my favorite things…”
I love the classic movie the Sound of Music. In the spirit of the song My Favorite Things, I wanted to share some of my favorite gluten-free Christmas cookie recipes from my gluten-free and food allergy blogger friends.
Baking is one of my love languages and I especially love holiday baking. That’s why I’m so excited to share this amazing collection of gluten-free Christmas cookie recipes! With all of these different gluten-free cookie recipes, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
Pro Tips
- When baking gluten-free cookies use parchment paper to line your cookie sheets.
- I also like to use Reynolds Kitchens Cookie Baking Sheets. It has a smart grid that makes it super easy to line up your cookies on your baking sheet. I buy it at Walmart.
- Always use a cookie scoop. I use a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop. It was a game-changer for me!
Dairy-Free Baking
Some of my favorite dairy-free alternatives that I like to bake with are almond, cashew or coconut milk. I also like baking with coconut oil or Earth Balance or Smart Balance butter.
Gluten-Free Gingerbread Cookies
I love the smells of holiday baking, especially that of gingerbread. There is nothing quite like the smell of gingerbread cookies baking in the oven.
Gingerbread just smells like the holidays to me. It’s such a warm and cozy scent.
