Gluten Free Christmas Cookies
These Gluten-Free White Chocolate Dipped Pistachio Cookies need to become a must-have on your holiday baking list! I made them last weekend and they were gone by Monday morning! They have the taste of a spiced cookie but they’re dipped in white chocolate adding a touch of sweetness to every bite! Add some festive sprinkles on each one and you have some of the prettiest cookies you’ll bake all season long!
Pistachio cookies are one of my favorites, but they’re even more irresistible when you add in cardamom, cinnamon, and allspice to give more of a holiday taste (and smell!) to them. These cookies are not overly nutty tasting, but just perfect so everyone loves them.
Also, let’s talk about that these cookies are gluten-free. I’ve been wanting to add more gluten-free recipes to Brooklyn Farm Girl since I’ve gotten more requests for special dietary recipes. What’s a better gluten-free recipe than delicious cookies? I will be collaborating on some upcoming gluten-free recipes with my friend AK, who herself is gluten-free, so I can confirm these are all made with love! These cookies are so good that even my husband who isn’t gluten-free couldn’t get enough! In fact when I ate the last cookie and he didn’t know, he had such a sad look on his face when he went into the cookie jar to find it empty! Seriously, everyone will love them!
Gluten Free Cookie Recipe
These yummy cookies are made with both almond flour and teff flour. Teff flour is a light, 100% whole grain flour that is often used in Ethiopian cuisines. Because of it’s lightness, it’s the perfect flour to use for baking cookies! I recommend using teff flour for these cookies, along with almond flour, as the shape holds up much better than just using all almond flour. You can see below how well the cookies are shaped before baking – you wouldn’t even be able to tell they weren’t made with all-purpose flour!
Best Gluten Free Cookies
Bake the cookies for 14-16 minutes, allow them to cool and then start melting your chocolate chips! I prefer using white chocolate chips because they look more festive with bright green (or red) sprinkles, but you could also use regular semi-sweet chocolate chips if you’d like! Hope you enjoy these GLUTEN-FREE White Chocolate Dipped Pistachio Cookies as much as I do…. because I LOVE THEM!
