Old Fashioned Christmas Cookies & Free Printable for the holidays.

Note – The printable is not available at this time but will be closer to the holidays.

Last year I shared my favorite Christmas Cookie recipe up to that particular point, Old Fashioned Christmas Cookies.

After making these cookies, this recipe is my go-to for all things Sugar Cookie related!

{Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom too for many more recipes from several of my favorite bloggers!}

This particular recipe is very good for cutting out shapes with cookie cutters.

It never failed that no matter how hard I tried anytime we cut out shapes, they spread in the oven during the bake time.

Then, when our shapes came out of the oven they were unrecognizable.

How do you make Gluten Free Old Fashioned Christmas Cookies?

This recipe though holds the shape, and it is a great recipe for gluten free too!

I simply do a little flour switch with gluten free all purpose flour and they turn out just the same as regular flour.

This is actually a moose cookie cutter and I planned to decorate them more in moose fashion, but my son realized I was making cookies and wanted to join in.

Once he joined in with me they quickly turned into some type of Christmas sprinkled reindeer.

That was perfectly fine with me though because I absolutely love being able to decorate the cookies with him, and they don’t have to be perfect to still look good and tasty.

We quickly had to try out our cookies and they were fabulous!

Now, my plan over his winter break is to make several batches and take to family members.

I plan to put them in little Christmas tins, then I made a little printable to add to each tin with the recipe on it.

This is a great gift idea or little treat to take to a teacher too!

Now, it’s time to check out some more tasty recipes, be sure to head over to each of these blogs to see the goodness going on this season!
