The Yummiest Gluten and Dairy Free Christmas Cookies

The Yummiest Gluten and Dairy Free Christmas Cookies just in time for Holiday baking!  

My son is 6 now (😭) so I’ve been cooking gluten and dairy free recipes for about 5 years and I feel like I have gotten really good at it.  But baking has been a whole other story, especially Christmas and holiday cookies.  I can make a good gf/df dessert like my Healthy Instant Pot Apple Crisp | Gluten-free Apple Crisp, Peanut butter Chocolate Cup Cake, Healthy Instant Pot Brown Rice Pudding and my 21 Day Fix Pineapple Upside Down Cupcakes {Dairy-free/Gluten-free}

Cookies, though, I been a little more hesitant to try. 

My grandmother literally made the best Christmas ever.  Gorgeous, bakery worthy, and so delicious, you couldn’t even believe it.  And so many varieties.  She would literally start baking a month before and we would all get multiple tins at each Christmas. 

I have all of her recipes.  But I can’t bring myself to make cookies at Christmas that my son can’t have.  

But thanks to the Internet and some really awesome bloggers, we have a bunch of Christmas Cookie recipes to start new traditions with.  And every bit that I learn makes me more confident to start experimenting with my Grandma’s recipes…and to make her proud with some new and gluten-free versions of them!  I love you, Grandma Helen!
