Looking for the best gluten-free, vegan, and allergy-free Christmas cookie recipes? This round-up is your resource for all the holiday and Christmas cookies you used to love, but now suitable for all your dietary, celiac, and food allergy needs! From gingerbread men to chocolate crinkles, snickerdoodles, sugar cookies, even shortbread!
I think it’s time to round-up ALL the delicious Christmas cookies here on Strength and Sunshine in one post! The holidays are prime time for baking and most of that baking happens to be cookie baking (right?) In this post you’ll find ALL the gluten-free, vegan, allergy-free cookies your heart desires! Everyone deserves a cookie (or 12) during the holidays and celiac disease and food allergies should never get in the way! Cookies for comfort baking, gifting, cookie exchanges, decorating with the kids, and of course…leaving for Santa!
All the cookies you’ll find here are Gluten-free, Vegan, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Soy-Free, Wheat-Free, Sesame-Free. Most (like 90%) are Top 8 Free, meaning Tree Nut-Free and Peanut-Free as well. Those are are nut-based will be designated (it’s pretty obvious though!); paleo/grain-free cookies will also be noted. Most are sugar-free (or low sugar if it happens to include molasses) and oil-free too! I’ll update the list yearly and/or whenever a new holiday cookie recipe is posted on Strength and Sunshine.

Great round up! My favorites are cut outs but my husband doesn’t care for them which actually makes life easier since they are a lot of work.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
