It is that time of year when baking is in full swing and Christmas traditions begin. Gluten-Free Thumbprint Cookies cookies are always on top of my list. The cookies are festive and pretty because they have jam in the center. They will melt in your mouth. With only a few basic ingredients, you can also make gluten-free thumbprint cookies that your entire family will love. What I love about this gluten-free cookie recipe is that you can personalize it by using a jam of your choice. For me, I love cherry jam not only because of the deep red colour, but the jam compliments the cookie flavour. Because the jam sweetens the cookie, I was able to cut back on the sweetener. I recommend doubling the recipe because they go very fast.

hostess gift

During the holiday season, we visit family and friends, so a hostess gift is always appreciated. Especially when the cookies are freshly baked, gluten-free and taste this good, this cookie recipe is a lot easier to make than you may think. Just mix everything together, roll the dough into a ball and using your finger poke a hole in the middle. Then, all you do is fill in your favourite jam. That’s it, super easy, pretty and delicious. To make it into a hostess gift, use a small festive box, layer the bottom with a pretty paper and fill with cookies. I would also add a note that they are gluten-free. Trust me, your hostess will always appreciate freshly baked cookies, especially during the holiday season. A cookie freshly baked beats any store bought gluten-free cookie plus you can make them at a fraction of the cost. Enjoy and happy holidays!
