My collection of the Best Gluten Free Christmas Cookie recipes will make your holidays just a little brighter because they’re fun, healthy, and super easy to make.
Best Gluten Free Christmas Cookies
Growing up in Davis, a small town in Northern California, I made treats for our family friends and wrapped them in boxes bought from our local Chinese restaurant.
This was the 1970s, long before the advent of Michael’s and other craft stores.
Homemade Cookies for Christmas
I’d stuff each box with my homemade cookies and fudge, then add the finishing touch, a pretty red ribbon.
After that, my parents would drive me all over town for our own Christmas cookie delivery.
Now we use more festive containers, such as these adorable santa, snowman, and holiday treat boxes that you can order online, filling them with my low-carb gluten free cookies.

Recipes for Healthy Cookies
When the boys were teenagers, our family “Christmas cookie delivery” ended because my healthy Christmas cookies rarely made it past the kitchen counter.
Gluten Free Recipes for Cookies
Most of the time, close to a dozen teenagers filled our house, eating everything in sight!
Although it was busy, I love that we were the house where everyone gathered for their favorite gluten free Christmas desserts and much more.
