A Gluten Free Holiday - Alta of Tasty Eats at Home


This week's "A Gluten Free Holiday" is being hosted by Alta of Tasty Eats at Home. Alta chose the theme of Gifts of Good Taste. What are good gluten free food items to share with friends and family over the holidays? 

My personal favorite food gift to make is cookies. Cookies are fun and relatively easy to make. You don't have to be an unusually gifted baker to make good cookies and they can be beautifully presented in any type of little bag along with a ribbon! 

Here are 3 of my favorite gluten free cookie recipes to give away for the holidays!

Gluten Free Double Fudge Walnut Cookies
A cookie I created for a local cookie swap I attended several years ago, it's a rich fudgy cookie, that you don't have to feel too guilty about eating. One of my favorites!


The BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies
Michael's absolute favorite. I think he could live off these cookies. I make these every year on Thanksgiving  for people to munch on throughout the day, they are always gone before dinner!


Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookies.
I love making cut out cookies and decorating them. This is one of my very favorite cookies and one we'll be making when my friend Angie comes for our yearly Holiday visit.  We also used this dough to make a gluten free gingerbread house last year. You'll love these cookies!
