30 More Gluten-Free Christmas Cookies You’ll Want To Make Right Now

Here are 30 more gluten-free Christmas cookies you’ll want to make right now! Well, actually, almost 40 new recipes!

The question is do you want to make these irresistible treats for yourself or the people you love? Perhaps as a solitary holiday offering or part of a Christmas basket?

Either way (or both–I like doing both!), I think you will love the variety of gluten-free cookies in this collection. Biscotti, shortbread, cookies made with coffee, cut-out cookies, gingersnaps, and more. Each recipe is labeled with its allergy-free, special diet designation—gluten free, dairy free, egg free, keto, etc.—to let you know right away if the recipe will work for your needs.

It’s both National Bake Day (seems appropriate, right?) as I write this on December 23 and Christmas Eve Eve. So it may seem late in the game to share Christmas cookie recipes. However, you may still be looking for that one special cookie recipe!

And honestly, my favorite time to make holiday cookies for my family is the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day. Everything has calmed down a bit by then so everyone’s more relaxed. And unless you were really inundated with sweet Christmas food gifts, you still have room for a cookie or two!
