Gluten Free Rolled Vanilla Chip Cookies


Gluten Free Vanilla Chip Cookies are sure to be a new Holiday favorite. They have wonderful flavor and pair great with a glass of milk or eggnog! They roll easily and are addicting, one will not be enough!

Day 2: 12 Days of Gluten Free Christmas Baking



Day 2 is here! Yesterday I posted Christmas Coconut Macaroons, and I am sticking with the cookie theme again today. Cookies are a large part of Christmas baking, everyone has their favourites and they are easy to grab when company stops by or for any Christmas Cookie Swap. When I was first diagnosed with Celiac Disease I missed cookies more than anything. They come in so many varieties and are a great snack to satisfy a sweet tooth. 

When I made these cookies I wanted something that was crumbly, but not in the usual gluten free way. I wanted them to taste like the pre packaged store bough cookies, and I think these hit the mark. They are gluten free, have amazing flavor, and crumble in the right way without being dry. They pair perfectly with  a glass of milk, and Santa Clause will love them when he shows up on Christmas!

Christmas is full of family traditions. Many families bake goodies together during the holiday season. This can be hard for a person adjusting to having Celiac Disease, or a gluten intolerance. But there are so many option for Gluten Free baking that they no longer have to feel left out or discouraged. Make Gluten Free baking apart of your holiday regimen and everyone will feel the love and spirit of Christmas!


Have a Great Day,
