It’s the most wonderful, delicious time of year! I’ve been researching Gluten Free Christmas Cookie Recipes for years. It started when I found out that Pookah was allergic to wheat and I searched the internet for ideas so that my 1 year old could have a cookie at Christmas.
10 years ago, this was hard! But now, I’ve got lots of Gluten Free Recipes to share (like this Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookie Recipe)

Frequently Asked Questions about Gluten Free Cookies and baking
I get a lot of questions about how to make gluten-free cookies and what to do afterward, so I’m adding in a few FAQ before we get to our recipes!

- Almond Flour
- Coconut Flour

- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons

How do you store Gluten Free Cookies?
All of the recipes I’m about to share are easy to store and last about 2-3 weeks at room temperature as long as they are stored in an airtight container.
You can also Freeze cookies if you bake in advance. I like to put them in freezer zip lock bags. They will keep for about a month frozen. When you are ready to eat them, thawing is easy!
Just let them sit on the counter at room temperature until completely thawed.
Then enjoy with a nice glass of milk!
