The first year we went gluten-free, everything was going smoothly until the holidays. I quickly realized that all of my favorite holiday treats were loaded with gluten. It was both eye-opening and depressing. I wasn’t prepared to have to turn-down homemade cookies that were thoughtfully baked for us. I didn’t think about needing to scour the internet for gluten-free Christmas cookie recipes to replace our holiday favorites.
I wasn’t ready.
Then I felt deprived. I was missing out. So, I cheated. I thought I was being sneaky and took a cookie like I was three, not an adult, and while it tasted just as good as I remembered, my body hated me afterward. It wasn’t worth the initial bliss.
I needed to find gluten-free Christmas cookie recipes that tasted amazing and would fill in the gaps that our holiday treat tray was missing. I put out a call to my blogging friends and came up with this list of delicious recipes to try. Which one will you try first?
Gluten-Free Christmas Cookie Recipes
One of the things I’ve missed most about eliminating gluten is indulging in Christmas cookies during the holidays. That and bread. I miss homemade bread that is crunchy on the outside and chewy and soft on the inside. I can’t wait to try these gluten-free Christmas cookie recipes and add some to our holiday treat creation rotation.
