Gluten Free Christmas Cookies
If you’re anything like me, you do a LOT of baking for Christmas. I gift several different kinds of cookies each year so I’m always looking for new recipes to try and share. I’ve included some of my own gluten free cookie recipes and I’ve also included many gluten free cookie recipes from fellow food bloggers.
There are gingerbread recipes, lots of peppermint recipes, chocolate, pinwheels, nutmeg, cranberries, sugar cookies, shortbread, biscotti, thumbprints, crinkles, and more. So much more!
There’s seriously something for everyone. Unless you’re looking for truffles or fudge – I’ll save that for another post so you’re not overwhelmed with options.

Our cookie box to everyone this year included these mini chocolate chip cookies (awesome!) and your soft ginger cookies; a few larger boxes included the chocolate crinkle cookies-they were perfect- as well as cranberry bars and frosted sugar cookies. They are all delicious, but out of all of them we tried this year, the coconut cookies from a previous “best of holiday” were so good they made into NONE of the boxes. 😳
