Gluten-free Christmas Cookies

Aren’t these gingerbread so darling? from the Simply Sugar and Gluten Free blog.

So, after I wrote my last post on my new wheat-free challenge, things have been going quite well.  It’s day four and nothing has felt a real struggle; if anything, I feel that cravings for sweets have really reduced and I’m still totally satisfied eating non-wheat-laden entrees.  All was well until my mom sent me an email in response to that last post:

Wow what a great blog.  Great connection and inspirations honey!   

But, wheatfree during the cookie holiday of the year???

And just like that, my heart sunk a little.  NO COOKIES?!!!  On Christmas????!!!!!

Have no fear mom, the world of gluten-free-bloggers is here.  Next week, I’ll be getting together with the Food Bloggers Los Angeles group for a cookie swap and I look forward to baking and trying out some of these visually delicious wheat-free baked goods.
