The white chocolate cranberry combo is a classic for a reason! The combination of sweet and slightly tart flavors are a perfect balance for each other. Throw the combo into a thick, soft, chewy, and buttery cookie...I think you see where I'm going with this! These gluten-free cookies are a MUST bake during the winter season, specifically for your Christmas cookie platter!

You Only Need 9 Ingredients

Less than 10 ingreindts? Yes, please! The cookies are super simple which may or may not be a good thing, depending on your self-control!

  • Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
  • Baking Soda
  • Light Brown Sugar (Sweetener)
  • Granulated Sugar (Sweetener)
  • Commercial Egg Replacement
  • Vegan/Allergy-Free Butter
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Allergy-Free White Chocolate Chips
  • Dried Cranberries

Ingredient swaps:

  • If you HATE white chocolate, feel free to use allergy-free dark chocolate chips or semi-sweet chips!
  • As always, to reduce sugar, I use Swerve Brown Sugar and Swerve Granulated Sweetener.
  • My favorite egg replacement is from Bob's Red Mill, but any powdered egg replacement will work.
  • You can use sweetened or unsweetened dried cranberries (aka, Craisins).

Cookies Baking Tips

These cookies are super easy and only take about 10 to 12 minutes to bake! Here are some tips for ultimate success:

  1. Mix together your dry ingreindts before adding in the softened butter, egg replacer, and vanilla.
  2. Fold in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries last.
  3. Chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour or pop it in your freezer for about 15 minutes.
  4. This recipe makes 24 to 20 cookies. I ended up with 20, about 1 heaping tablespoon of dough each.
  5. Give them enough room on your baking sheet for spreading a bit and bake them just until the edges start to get golden brown. You want to remove the cookies before they get completely "cooked" in the center. You want your cookies to be soft and chewy!
  6. Allow them to cool slightly on the pan, about 1 to 2 minutes, before transferring the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely and prevent soggy bottoms!

Storing Your Cookies for Freshness

  • Once your cookies are cooled completely, you can store them at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
  • You can freeze the baked cookies for 3 to 4 months or you can freeze unbaked cookie dough balls for up to 3-4 months as well and bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the bake time.
  • Thaw frozen baked cookies in the fridge overnight before bring them to room temperature.

If you need more convincing to bake these cookies...Santa actually called and told me he won't be coming to houses that don't have these waiting for him on the cookie plate! You've been warned so don't disappoint the gluten-free kiddos this year!

So tell me:

We are replacing the animal protein with kidney beans, potatoes, and hearts of palm. This trifecta provides meaty textures and protein to the stew, plus reduces the need for extra cooking time since we’re taking the lazy way and using canned ingredients. The roux is made with gluten-free flour and vegan butter for a thick, rich, hearty stew that will stick to your bones.πŸ˜‹πŸ™Œ
