Gluten Free Kiss Cookies For Your Next Snow Day
I’ve recently been digging in to the deep archives of my brain to find some of my favorite holiday cookie recipes…
I could spend days making batches of Christmas cookies this time of year. I love the feeling after being in the kitchen all day long with flour in every crevice, smeared across my clothes. On days where the snow is falling uncontrollably and the only option is to stay in, baking is the best option.
What are some of your Christmas cookie recipes that you stand by year after year?
Mine include of course hershey kiss cookies, candy-cane cookies, lemon bars, magic cookie bars, peppermint crunch balls, and so many more…
This year I decided to turn a stand-by recipe in to my own, switching out a few ingredients here and there for a “healthified” version amidst all of the indulgence. These cookies are perfectly soft and buttery. When warmed, the chocolate kiss melts in your mouth. A glass of milk is definitely required when eating these.
Whenever I use butter while cooking or baking, I like to buy this pasture-raised brand
So, this winter, when the snow is falling and Christmas is here and gone, make a batch of my kiss cookies. Their truly is nothing better than freshly baked cookies, a movie, and a glass of milk to end a snowy day.
