Key Takeaways

Enjoy the holidays with 10 gluten free cookies ideal for gifts and cookie swaps.
There are many flavors and options, so everyone can find a cookie they love.
Baking tips include reading recipes fully, using room temperature ingredients, and allowing dough to chill before baking.

Read your recipe through completely before starting.
Have all ingredients at room temperature unless otherwise specified.
Bake at the minimum time listed on recipes and check them after minimum so as not to overcook.
Cool your cookies on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Use real butter. Nothing acts like butter does when baking!
Use a spring release scoop (ice cream scoop) for even shaped cookies.
Most notable, allow time for the dough to chill in the refrigerator for an hour before baking them. At least an hour, but they can stay longer in the fridge. In fact, I’ll make the dough and let it sit in the fridge for up to two days baking a batch when the boys want a snack.
The dough will also freeze for up to 4 months. Bake as directed whenever you’re ready to bake.
Don’t over mix the dough it will make the cookies tough.
I highly recommend baking cookies on a Silpat mat.
Carefully and correctly measure flour.
