50 Gluten-Free Christmas Cookie Recipes for sharing during the holiday season! Bake up a batch (or twelve) for Christmas gifts or holiday feasts! Roundup includes options that are vegan, grain-free, refined sugar-free, and/or paleo!

When I first started blogging, it was difficult to find gluten-free baking recipes. In fact, the first gluten-free recipe I ever made were coconut pancakes from Mark Sisson (at Mark’s Daily Apple). Are you shocked? No, you’re not shocked.
But now…now there is a mecca of gluten free recipes…also gluten-free + vegan….also gluten-free + grain-free + vegan…also all that + naturally sweetened. It’s pretty amazing how much you can make out of such simple ingredients.
It makes me want to throw my hands in the air and make truffles out of avocados and dates.
For those who are looking for recipes for gluten-free Christmas cookies, here are 50 of them from around the web! Within this post, there are also plenty of options for vegan, naturally sweetened, and paleo gluten-free Christmas cookie recipes as well. Enjoy!
