It is officially baking season!

You get to eat all of the gluten-free cookies you want and spend time with loved ones. Can’t get any better than that!

Start off your Christmas morning with our Healthy Breakfast Cookies that are packed with oats, maple syrup, bananas, nuts, and coconuts… everything you’d ever want for breakfast—in one cookie.

For a last minute Christmas party treat or potluck dessert, bake these Almond Butter Oatmeal Cookies. They only have 4 ingredients: almond butter, oats, honey, and eggs (with an optional sugar topping).

Of course you can’t go wrong with the popular Easy Cut-Out Sugar Cookies. I guarantee these cookies don’t spread and keep their shape! This is because of a few tips and tricks that will blow your mind like excluding leaveners (baking powder, baking soda, etc.) and using COLD butter.
