Some of the best gluten free cookie recipes; appropriate for those with celiac disease or a gluten intolerance.
Sugar cookies are must for any gluten free recipe box. Using my easy to make baking flour (see recipe link), you can make common desserts the same way you did when you used gluten flour. This delicious gluten free sugar cookies recipe is just one example. Once baked, if desired, decorate them using my royal icing recipe. Their yummy. Enjoy!

There’s nothing like a good shortbread cookie with a cup of tea. We used to devour one of my former client’s gluten free lemon shortbread cookies (Simply Shari’s), but I can’t have them anymore because they contain tapioca and citrus. My husband still enjoys them, though. Meanwhile, since my flour blend recipe calls for tapioca or cornstarch, I can make my own shortbread cookies. My hubby misses lemon desserts since I realized I was allergic to it. So, I’m trying to make enough to freeze for him to enjoy!. I hope you enjoy them as well.

I love chewy cookies. So, that’s the way I decided to make these gluten free oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Yum! I add chopped walnuts, but you can omit them, if desired. A matter of fact, you can even omit the chocolate chips, if preferred. You can add raisins, dried cranberries, or even dried blueberries. Make them your way!

Inspired by the Girl Scout Samoas, this cookie is much larger, crisper, and instead of shredded coconut, it calls for nuts. (I used walnuts. If have a nut allergy, use desiccated coconut.) With its caramel topping and chocolate coated bottoms, they are definitely indulgent. Continue reading “Gluten Free Samoas-Style Cookies (Nut-Free or Not)”
The next time you see Girl Scouts selling Tagalongs, don’t fret. You can make this delicious gluten-free version in your kitchen. The thin cookie is crisp, topped with a sweet and creamy peanut butter filling, and then dipped in milk chocolate. They’re simply unforgettable.

Spring time weather is nearing summer temperatures in California. These cold chocolate peanut butter clusters are perfect for hot day. The best part about them is there is no baking involved. Therefore, they’re ready in no time. Continue reading “No-Bake Gluten Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Clusters (Dairy Free)”
I am big on nut butter cookies. You can use peanut butter or almond butter, whichever you prefer. I have made Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies, Crunchy Peanut Butter and Coconut Cookies, Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cookies with Oatmeal, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies, Dairy-Free Peanut Butter Cookies Using Cookie Mix, and now, gluten free egg free peanut butter cookies with teff flour. They’re all wonderful and some are considered grain-free as teff and buckwheat are seeds, not grains. However, my all-time fave is Gluten Free Nutter Butter Cookies Recipe (Dairy-Free). Those are a bit more time-consuming than this new recipe. I enjoy this new one for its nutritional value, ease of preparation, and flavor. I hope you enjoy them, as well. They’re dairy-free, egg-free, and gum-free, to name a few. They are also grain-free as teff is a seed, not a grain. Continue reading “Gluten-Free Egg-Free Peanut Butter Cookies”
After tasting the new Trios Gluten Free Girl Scout Cookies, I knew those who were not able to find them in their area would have to taste these amazing cookies. I got right on it today. After several tweaks on baking times, height of dough, amount of invert sugar and butter, I finally did it. I knew on the last 2 batches that I baked, that I had achieved a copycat recipe of the Gluten Free Girl Scout Cookies, Trios! Again, I was thinking, “OMG!” I’ve only used that term twice on this blog, but they are truly amazing. When my gluten-eating husband gets home, he’s going to flip out with joy as he loved the Trios we purchased and they were all gone. Continue reading “Copycat Gluten Free Trios Girl Scout Cookies (Flourless)”
Shortly after I published my new copycat recipe for Betty Crocker’s Gluten Free Yellow Cake Mix, one of my Facebook followers asked if I could adapt a Strawberry Cake Mix Heart-Shaped Ore-Style Cookie Recipe to gluten free. I found the same exact recipe published on Thirty Hand Made Days Blog. I immediately went to work on adapting my yellow cake mix into a strawberry cake mix. Continue reading “Gluten Free Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies – Oreo-Style”
Nature’s Path just came out with three flavors of their new Qi’a™ Superfoods Hot Oatmeal. Flavors include Creamy Coconut, Superseeds & Grains and Cinnamon Pumpkin Seed. I love the Superseeds & Grains because it has a bit of crunch. It contains rolled oats instead of quick-cooking oats like so many brands. They asked me to create a recipe using my favorite flavor for their Pinterest Oatmeal Month (January) contest and here it is, a gluten free vegan oatmeal raisin cookies. They are so good that when I made them (just before dinner), I ate three and couldn’t eat my dinner. It was one of those nights…eat dessert for dinner and a small dinner for dessert. Mind you, I am not on a dairy-free or vegan diet, yet they still met my requirements for a chewy cookie. Enjoy!
Note: These are easy to make because the oatmeal packs contain six ingredients, with less to purchase and measure. Continue reading “Chewy Gluten Free Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies with Superfoods”
