This assortment of Gluten-free Christmas Cookies is perfect for all of your Holiday Baking! From Gingerbread to Peanut Butter Blossoms, there are loads of Healthy Christmas Cookies for everyone!

What's better than Christmas Cookies?  Healthy Christmas cookies, that's what - and in our house, that means gluten-free Christmas Cookies.  In fact, most of the cookies in this post are grain free Christmas Cookies so if you're off of grains, or limiting them, you are in luck.

And since we're watching carbs, I'm giving low carb options for as many of the cookies as possible and AIP options where possible.

Why Gluten-Free Christmas Cookies

When I was little, we always made cookies at Christmastime.  I really got into it, making all kinds of flavors some years. I baked  traditional chocolate chippers to Almond Crescents, to Meltaways and even Biscotti. But all time favorites were Peanut Butter Blossoms.

There's something about those Peanut Butter Blossoms - the combination of Chocolate and Peanut Butter (highlighted in my Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Chia Pudding) is always a winner, and when the cookies are still warm, those Hershey Kisses just melt into the cookie (and into your mouth) just right.

When I grew up, however, I found that gluten and I didn't get along so well, and we felt the need to take the rest of the family off of gluten for various health reasons.  And then we found out that my oldest was deathly allergic to dairy and egg, and so there went many of our favorites.

Time to find new recipes.

Our dietary needs have changed a lot over the years, to the point where we've experimented with paleo, GAPS, and AIP, but right now we pretty much eat as healthy as possible while limiting carbs and having basically no junk at all.

I've gotten a few healthy cookie recipes together, which really help, but I reached out to some blogger friends of mine to expand my recipe box.

And boy did I get some good ones.

My mouth was watering as I put this post together.

And yes--it even has my favorites, Peanut Butter Blossoms, in the mix.

Of course, whether it's Christmas or not, you can enjoy these delicious Gluten-Free Christmas Cookies all year round!

Oh, and if you are looking for even MORE cookies, this post, Healthy Christmas Cookies, is the place to go.

This is for sure one amazing assortment of healthy gluten free Christmas Cookies.  Not sure which I will make first, and really, I might just have to make all of them!
