In addition to the usual Christmas cookie suspects, I also like to add some gluten- and dairy-free sugar cookies to the mix each year.
Now, if you’re skeptical, I will tell you: They are actually pretty good! Despite your allergies, you can still enjoy a good Christmas cookie.
Here is the recipe:

Ingredients
- 1½ cup gluten free flour
- 1 cup corn starch
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp can xanthan gum
- Pinch of salt
- 8 tbsp soy free butter
- 1 egg or 1 tbsp to 3 tbsp water ( heat in pan till egg like consistency)
- ¼ cup rice milk ( add more 1 tbsp at a time if needed)
- 1½ tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix all dry ingredients together in mixer.
- Add in butter and vanilla, and mix again.
- Add in milk.
- Mix again till the mixture becomes doughy (if too dry, add more milk; if too wet, add more gluten-free flour, one tbsp at a time).
- Place the dough in a bowl in the freezer for 30 to 45 min, until stiff.
- Roll dough into little balls and place on a cookie sheet (like drop cookies).
- Bake for 12 minutes.
- Top with any frosting (we topped outs with powdered sugar and water mixed with food coloring).
