It’s that time of the year. Time to whip up your favorite cookies and head on over to your friend’s Christmas cookie exchange. But what happens when you or even the entire holiday cookie exchange is gluten free and/or vegan and/or nut free and/or Paleo and/or Keto and/or….??? What’s a girl to do? Fear not, we have 25+ recipes that will fit all of your allergen friendly nutrition protocols. Let the baking begin!
I looked through several hundred recipes to choose the best ones. Not to go all judgemental on you, but there are a lot of bloggers out there who are claiming their recipes follow certain protocols, but after reading through the ingredients, they do not. I’m sorry, but listing “flour” as an ingredient and then stating, “you can substitute gluten free flour” or not at all… and then trying to call a recipe gluten free? Or calling a recipe Paleo when it has sugar in it? Not cool. Not cool at all.
Here at Pink Fortitude, we check, double-check, and triple-check not only our own recipes but the ones we feature in roundups as well. I went to the best of the best allergen-friendly food bloggers to compile this mouth-watering list of holiday cookies for you. AND… they are gorgeous and Pinterest-worthy!
All of the recipes in this Christmas cookie exchange are gluten free. I know that our readers all have different nutrition protocols, so I did my best in labeling each recipe according to what it does and does not have in it. You will see:
- Gluten Free
- Dairy Free
- Egg Free
- Vegan
- Nut Free
- Paleo
- Keto
Some of the recipes have options written into them. Always check your ingredients, labels, and recipes to ensure they are compliant with your nutrition protocol.
And remember… just because it’s gluten free and whatever free doesn’t mean it’s healthy. Many of these recipes are legit healthy for you. But many also have plenty of sugar in them. It is the holidays after all. So just go easy. Promise me. It’s not worth losing all of the progress you’ve made over a few seconds of a few extra cookies.
