Healthy Holiday Cookies

I’ve been busy with holiday decorating and shopping....there’s never enough time to get things done in December it seems!! Holiday parties and gatherings are sure to include sweet treats which are not so inviting  for those of us who don’t eat gluten.

Here is a recipe for gluten free cut out cookies in case you can find the time to bake! 

It’s the first time I’ve made them -- okay, I didn’t really make them...as I said, I’ve been busy!

My son made them yesterday with Snoopy (our dog) presiding over the table, and we decorated them last night. It was great fun and a nice way for my family to share our Christmas traditions. We were pleased with how they turned out and they taste great!

Here is the Gluten Free Christmas Cookie Recipe:

3/4 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

2 tsp. baking powder

3  3/4 cup gluten free cookie mix - we used Bob’s Red Mill

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Cream butter and sugar Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add baking powder and flour. Dough may be stiff. Make 2 balls. Roll each ball out on floured surface and cut out shapes with cookie cutters to about 1/4 inch thickness. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 6-7 minutes. Decorate with icing.

Happy Holidays!
