Making these cut-out cookies has been a family tradition for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid my mom would make them for Easter; Lots of bunnies, chicks, and easter eggs. When I became a mom we continued the Easter tradition, but branched out and started making them for every holiday. My kids loved to decorate these cookies with anything and everything: Icing, sprinkles, candies, colored sugars, you name it - we used it.

It was always a great time making memories while we decorated (and ate) these wonderful soft and tender cut-outs. You're going to love these cookies - I promise! They are easy to roll and cut with you favorite cookie cutters. There is only a 15 minute long chill time and they hold their shape as they bake and keep a flat surface that's perfect for decorating. Bonus: they freeze perfectly!

I’ve said it time and time again, but Red Velvet is one of the most iconic and loved dessert flavors to ever exist. It’s bright red color and slight hints of cocoa make it hard to say “no”. I’ve never met a red velvet dessert I didn’t like…you can’t really mess it up! Since it' has such a subtle cocoa flavor that makes it easily distinguishable from straight chocolate or vanilla, it’s the perfect in-between flavor for something if you’re unsure what someone likes!

To me, red velvet desserts are a staple for Valentine’s Day. Not only does the striking red color make it perfectly suited for the holiday, but the lightly sweet flavor that it houses; it’s not going to be overwhelming in addition to all of the chocolates you’ll eat that day…it will be a perfect pair ♥️

These gluten-free oatmeal raisin cookies are just like my grandma used to make. They are soft, chewy, and loaded with delicious, sweet raisins. A mix of butter and cream cheese give these cookies a special flavor and texture that you and others will love!

There are just some classics that aren’t allowed to be messed with; oatmeal raisin cookies being one of them. They’re just so delicious and hard to resist in my opinion! The chewiness of the oatmeal, the warmth of the cinnamon, and the slight freshness from the raisins make up the perfect bite.

These Gluten-Free Walnut Buttercream Thumbprints are the most requested cookie in our house all year long, not just Christmas time. The cookie base is not too sweet, so the addition of the walnuts that toast while they bake and the smooth vanilla buttercream balance everything out so nicely. Not only do these elements give these cookies an outstanding flavor, but a wonderful texture as well.

There really is nothing more Christmas-y than toasted nuts and sweet cookies. These cookies give you the best of both worlds all in one bite. I have no doubt that people will be asking you for the recipe once they try one of these beautiful creations; I know because it happens every year to me! The second best part about these cookies is that they’re extremely simple to make and only require a few ingredients that you have around the house. Simple and tasty - there’s nothing better.

These Gluten-Free Hot Cocoa Cookie Cups are the best, simplest, and most delicious holiday treat you can make. Since the base is a simple chocolate chip cookie dough, it’s great to make with the kiddos! The filling only has 3 ingredients too, so it whips up in no time - perfect for those busy December days. If you have kids, they may want to leave a few out for ol’ Saint Nick on Christmas Eve! 🎅🏼☕️

These cookie cups are great to bring to any holiday gathering because they are so dang simple!!! All of your friends will be swooning over these little babies because of how adorable and tasty they are. There’s really nothing better than a hot cocoa on a cold winter day, so these are the perfect addition to your holiday dessert table. So, put this recipe on your “To Do” list this holiday season!

These cookies are a Christmas staple in our house. We always have to make a double or even a triple batch just so we don’t run out by the time the holiday finally comes around! Now, these cookies may look super rich, but they’re surprisingly light and feel like a brownie in your mouth. The chocolate chips scattered in the dough give a light crunch to contract against the smooth icing on top. The chocolate sprinkles are optional, but they add another nice texture.

Some advice: I would definitely make a double batch like we do because these cookies disappear very quickly. First, you’ll try one, and sneak another, and then decide that since you’ve already had two, why not have a third? These Gluten-Free Chocolate Hermits are so addictive, you’ll never get enough of them!

These delicious almond thumbprints are made with a mix of butter and shortening, which gives you the benefits of both. The great taste of butter along with a tender, lightly textured cookie resulting from the shortening. The almond flavoring in the icing pairs perfectly with the raspberry jam. These cookies are so yummy, it's hard to only eat one!

Breakfast cookies are a great way to start the day. They're like a bowl of oatmeal in a cookie form! These breakfast cookies are the first thing I created when I went gluten-free. I wanted something in the morning that wasn't overly sweet and would fill me up until lunch time. So, I got to work and after some trial and error I came up with these.

These breakfast cookies are soft, moist, not too sweet, and made with lots of healthy ingredients like peanut butter, oats, ground flax, applesauce, raisins, and chocolate chips. Added bonus - they stay fresh for days; no dried up, crumbly cookies here. I've come up with lots of variations sp there's something for everyone. What I have so far is original, walnut, chocolate chip, lemon blueberry, and banana nut. The possibilities are endless! You can stick with my combos or create your own with your favorite oatmeal add-ins.

It's officially pumpkin spice season! I love everything pumpkin flavored and these cake-like pumpkin spice cookies are at the top of my list. Soft, tender pumpkin spice cookies topped with a delicious buttery brown sugar icing. Sprinkle on some chopped walnuts or pecans for a little pop of flavor and crunch. Seriously, it's hard to keep these cookies around for long; Everyone just devours them! They are perfect to take along to any fall gathering you may have and would be a great addition to your Thanksgiving Day dessert table.

Just make a batch of these cookies and get ready for compliments. No one would ever believe that they're gluten-free. It can be our little secret. 😉

Chocolate and cherry - what a great combination...especially when you add booze into the mix! These delicious cookies have been in my family for many years. We make them every year for Christmas and they're always a hit. So, when my daughter and I decided to make these gluten-free we thought "Why not change them up a little bit?". Hellloooo, Southern Comfort! A little, red, sweet gem soaked in booze and maraschino cherry juice. Combine this with chocolate and you definitely have a winner on your hands. A fudgy, chocolate, boozy cordial cherry cookie.

Of course, if you don't want to soak the cherries in Southern Comfort you don't have to. You can keep them classic by using plain maraschino cherries and they'll still be insanely delicious. They'll be perfect for the kiddos to enjoy as well!

Chocolate and raspberry are the perfect combination of flavors. These cookies are the perfect balance of the two. A delicate chocolate flavor that goes wonderfully with the sweet raspberry jam. I guess that's why these cookies are a must-have in my house during the holiday season. In fact, they are my daughter's favorite Christmas cookie as well as a huge crowd favorite. We usually end up needing to make a second batch for the holidays because the first batch gets devoured so quickly.

Along with being great for the holidays, these chocolate raspberry thumbprints are perfect any time of year. They are super simple to mix up and are baked in no time at all. So, whenever you need a chocolate-raspberry treat, whip up a batch of these cookies and enjoy.

If you like banana bread and chocolate chip cookies then you're going to LOVE EVERYTHING about these GF Inside-Out Banana Bread Cookies. They are so buttery, soft, chewy, scrumptious, and surprisingly easy to make!

These chocolate chip banana bread cookies were inspired by some amazing cookies you could get in Disney World from Gideon's Bakehouse. While their cookies are almost 1/2 lb. each, ours are a lot smaller and better suited for a single serving that doesn't make your stomach hurt 😂. They come in at around 3 oz. each. Best of all, they're gluten-free! So, if you've ever dreamed of having a giant Gideon's cookie, but weren't able to, then we've got you covered. Warm, fresh-baked, super yummy, banana walnut chocolate chip cookies BAKED BY YOU!

Seriously, these big beauties are pretty addicting. You may start off with half of a cookie, but soon you'll realize that the temptation is too strong to leave the other half uneaten. Nobody will be saying "no" to these!
