If you are looking for gluten-free cookie recipes this holiday season, here are a few of mine. Not all of these are dairy free. See my notes on each one.
Spritz Cookies – My original recipe used butter. I have since made them using Earth Balance sticks as well as a combination of Earth Balance soy-free tub margarine and Spectrum organic shortening.

Sugar Cookies – This recipe I originally made with Spectrum organic shortening and coconut oil. Butter could be used, though. The unusual ingredient in these cookies is potato flour —not potato starch.

Thumbprint Cookies – This recipe uses shortening and either butter or margarine. These cookies are a favorite of mine.
![]()
Snickerdoodles – The recipe calls for butter, and I have not yet tried making them dairy free. I think substitutes would work well, though.
Coconut Cashew Clove Balls – Since this recipe uses sweetened condensed milk, there is no easy substitute for it. I haven’t yet tried making it dairy free.

I haven’t tried this but I came across this recipe for vegan condensed milk and bookmarked it. http://andloveittoo.com/sweetened-condensed-milk-gluten-free-dairy-free-casein-free-refined-sugar-free-vegan/
Thanks for the link! I’m not sure I have the patience to stir it continuously until reduced by half, but I might give it a try.
It is worth it just use a large bottom pan so it goes faster. With all the cookies I have been making I make a double batch.
These recipes look great! yum!
