Gluten Free Christmas Cookies

Filed Under: DIY, Recipes Tagged With: Christmas cookies, Christmas decor, cookie, cookie recipe, gluten free

We make these cookies once a year, even though my husband asks for them about 10 times a year. They are a family favorite! My sweet friend Heather gave me this recipe years ago when we lived in Indiana and it came along with us when we moved to Tucson, 2000 miles away. We decided to make them gluten free this year.  We love these cookies so much and I hope that you will all enjoy them, if you don’t already have a recipe of your own. This is always a fun family activity for us…well, at least for the girls. They are super easy to make too!

Buttercream icing recipe: - 1 lb of powdered sugar - ½ cup butter softened - about ¼ cup of almond milk - 1 tsp almond extract
Author: Hallie Kolter
Ingredients
  • 6 cups gluten-free all purpose flour (we used the Krusteaz brand)
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened (for dairy free you can substitute vegan butter)
  • 1 cup sour cream (vegan sour cream for dairy free)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
  1. Bake on 375 for 8-12 minutes
  2. Mix together wet ingredients in a small bowl. In a larger bowl, mix together dry ingredients.
  3. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture. Stir and knead with your hands if needed (you may need to add more sour cream... we had to add a little more because of using gluten-free flour).
  4. Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 min.
  5. Sprinkle flour on the counter and roll out the dough, then cut it out into shapes.
  6. Spray a pan with olive oil cooking spray, lay the cookies on the pan and bake them for 8-12 minutes.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool and then decorate as desired!

This is what the cookies look like prior to baking. They look very similar after baking them too. They are just a little more firm, obviously. They should still be light in color. The longer they are baked, the crispier they will get. We love keeping them on the softer side.

 

 

This is the first year that we made them with gluten free flour. We couldn’t even tell a difference. My oldest daughter and myself are gluten free and the previous years, we would just skip out on eating them, but not this year!

 

 

I love that my daughter cut out a cross, as a symbol of Christ. Looks like we have a new cookie cutter that we need to add to our stash!

 

 

 

Decorating the cookies is the second best part. I would say the first best is when they hit my yapper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chester may have been drooling. He DID get a lot of treats for this, and almost snagged a cookie.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Merry Christmas, my friends! I hope you all have the most amazing Christmas with your family and friends! I will be praying for all of you that are experiencing hurt this season. Christmas is a time for joy, but I realize it can also be a time of much hurt and pain. May your New Year 2019 be a blessed one!

    Oh how wonderful that you found a cookie that you can enjoy at Christmas!
    My family recipe handed down from my grandmother is very similar to this. My son & his wife make them for me each year as one of my gifts (my favorite gift)!
    Merry Christmas to you & your sweet family!!????❤️❤️????

    So excited about this recipe! It is similar to my grandmother’s recipe (our traditional cookie recipe) except it’s GLUTEN FREE! And I can make it Dairy Free (for my DF/GF daughter-in-law).

I found this old coffee grinder in an online aucti I found this old coffee grinder in an online auction, and I didn’t pay only $2 for it. I’m pretty sure it was one of those things where I was like, “Trav, this is going to be my birthday present” …it was months before my birthday so he forgets and still gets me something…of course I didn’t do that on purpose. 😁 I don’t buy pricey things like this often but it was something that I had been wanting for a while and they can go for $400-$500 online 🤪Lots of you ask if we use it, the answer is, I want to, but I just keep forgetting bc Trav is the one that drinks coffee and I don’t want to remind him that we have it or I might not get a birthday present this year.🤔And, I honestly don’t remember how much I paid for it but it was in the $200s …but it seems I really got it for Trav bc I don’t drink coffee🤔, but don’t tell Trav. #antiquecoffeegrinder #coffeegrinder #kitchendecor #kitchenremodel

Trav made this mantle out of a bed side rail 🤩 Trav once said we have too much stuff in the garage…but I found our mantle in the stuff 🤔…if we didn’t have stuff, we wouldn’t have this mantle😁 #mantle #mantledecor #brickfireplace #woodceiling #antiquepainting

I thought I would paint the swan …but, nope, not I thought I would paint the swan …but, nope, not after seeing it in here 🤩Oh, and the lights are back in stock and listed in my profile. 🏃‍♀️ (they are pendants but we pulled the cord through to make them flush, I love them!!) #swan #laundry #laundryroom #vanity #farmhousesink
Thanks for reminding me that I have stuff in the g Thanks for reminding me that I have stuff in the garage 😁 We covered our TV with art stuff from the garage and metal pipes and, it worked 🙌🏼😁 (see stories) I can still see the tv from the side but when we get the new wall bracket for it, that should help bc we can push it back more. It’s a good temp fix to have some cool art instead of a black box! Oh, and who remembers when I stripped this dresser? #tvart #brickfloor #oldpainting
