Gluten-Free Christmas Cookies



For holiday baking, these gluten-free Christmas cookies are great. Because they are made with almond and coconut flour, they are a tasty holiday treat that everyone can enjoy without gluten.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans optional
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries optional

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt

In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and maple syrup until well combined

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and mix until smooth

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms

Fold in the gluten-free chocolate chips and, if desired, the chopped pecans and dried cranberries

Use a cookie scoop or your hands to shape the dough into small cookie balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet

Flatten each cookie with a fork to create a crisscross pattern

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely

Once cooled, store the gluten-free Christmas cookies in an airtight container

Enjoy your homemade gluten-free Christmas cookies with your loved ones!
