Tis the Season for Gluten Free Cookies

 

Everyday at work this past week, someone has brought in a platter of Christmas cookies, or brownies, or cake. And all week I’ve had to smile and say no thank you. In a lot of ways, I felt pretty lucky to have Celiac this past week. I didn’t have to worry about being tempted. I couldn’t eat any of it. But yesterday a platter of sugar cookies were brought in, and we sat them on the counter to share with customers. I didn’t want to eat one, but the smell of sweet sugar and sprinkles really got to me.

Tonight at work we’re having a party for our “staff” (volunteers) and inviting friends and family. So I decided to make gluten free sugar cookies to share!

Last Christmas I used the Cherrybrook Kitchen Gluten Free Sugar Cookie Mix and really liked it. So I decided to try it again…a year later! (Yeah, I don’t make cookies very often apparently!)

The dough does need work to roll out, but it’s worth it!

I used the Betty Crocker Cookie Icing and India Tree Sprinkles. So pretty…and tasty!

The blue snowflake is my favorite!

It will be interesting to see if any of the party-goers can taste a difference. I can’t…but I honestly don’t know if I could tell anymore!

Sadly, I think I love the sprinkles more than the cookies!

So pretty and sparkly.

Ok, I’m off to work, only 11 Holiday Shopping Days Left!

I can see the end :)

This cake mix is SO good. My sister even liked it and she can eat gluten. I went to my cousin's wedding and my aunt (who also has Celiac's) gave to mix to the wedding cake baker. So we had our own little Gluten Free cake! It was awesome! I have a handful of family members who have Celiac's so that has helps in coping but it was so nice to be taken into consideration.
