If you or someone you know has celiac disease or a gluten intolerance, it's nice to enjoy Christmas cookies despite the dietary restrictions. Unfortunately, almost every traditional cookie recipe contains either refined or whole wheat flour, making it very difficult to eat the same cookies that other people can. So why not share your own? Make some delicious gluten-free Christmas cookies this holiday season, or order from a trust supplier that understands your dietary needs.

Gluten-Free Recipes
The growing number of people with celiac disease and gluten intolerance has led many who have been living with these issues to share their experiences and recipes with others. Kate Chan, who manages the blog Gluten-Free Gobsmacked, offers holiday recipes for ginger cookies, chocolate cookies, peppermint bark and the traditional powdered-sugar dusted Christmas cookies. Many other websites (such as AllRecipes), recipe resources and even whole cookbooks are devoted to gluten-free recipes and baking methods. Following gluten-free recipes and carefully checking package ingredients at the grocery store mean that you can monitor what's in your cookies and make sure they're tasty and suitable for everyone to eat. Another option is choosing recipes without flours, such as flourless peanut-butter cookie recipes that turn out dense, moist cookies.


Use Gluten-Free Mixes
Gluten-free flour mix and other gluten-free baking mixes are vital ingredients to have on hand if you're baking your own cookies. A number of cookie recipes from AllRecipes.com are transformed into gluten-free versions with the help of wheat-free flour mixtures, including the traditional chocolate-chip cookies. Since these flours don't have the same composition as wheat flours, they won't always yield the same results in baking, so it's still recommended that you follow recipes designed for gluten-free cookies. But if you enjoy experimenting in the kitchen or have a particular cookie recipe you want to replicate in a gluten-free version, these flour mixes can be very helpful. Celiac.com recommends a gluten-free flour mix that blends garfava bean flour, sorghum flour, tapioca flour and cornstarch.

Buy Your Cookies
If you're not the baking type, you need to save time, or you're looking for a lot of gluten-free cookies, try ordering products through a supplier. Most cookie factories produce treats that are made with gluten or processed with equipment that handles gluten, but Glutenfreeda.com provides access to a variety of gluten-free Christmas treats that cater to people with many different dietary needs. Some carry single gluten-free varieties and others bake everything gluten-free, so check details of a supplier before you buy.
