Last fall, my mom was diagnosed with a gluten allergy — which was a pretty big deal in our house considering the majority of our holiday bonding time is spent baking together.
I could tell she was discouraged by her new lifestyle, so my siblings and I surprised her with a collection of new gluten-free cookie recipes. Now, we prefer these gluten-free finds to the original selection we'd grown up baking. Mom never feels left out, and we get to experiment with new festive flavour combinations.
Gluten-Free Vanilla Pecan Snowball Cookies
I'll take icing sugar snowballs to the face any day — especially if they're packed with pecans.

Gluten-Free Vegan Snickerdoodles
These snickerdoodles hit me right in the nostalgia — their smell right out of the oven brings me back to my childhood kitchen alongside mom and grandma.

Toasted Pecan Almond Flour Shortbread Cookies
Half dipped in chocolate and decorated with toasted pecans, these cookies are too beautiful to eat. I'll still stash a few aside for myself, but the rest makes for a great gift basket.

Grain-Free Ginger Cookies
Imagine dunking these chewy bites in hot coffee while curled up on the couch in front of the fire — need I say more?

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies With Almond Flour
Pumpkin and chocolate chip cookies are both in my top five favourite holiday flavours — but why pick just one when you can tastefully combine the two.

Pumpkin Sugar Cookies With Bourbon Cinnamon Frosting
Or, you could give pumpkin cookies a sophisticated upgrade with some bourbon cinnamon frosting. Either way, you can't go wrong.

Double Chocolate Almond Butter Cookies
We can't forget about the chocolate lovers gathering around our holiday table. For them, I'm serving up double the flavour — it's the season of indulging after all.
