So they told you that going grain and gluten free was good for your health did they? Well, they were right. We did the same thing. You know what? We have never felt better!
But what the heck are you supposed to do when the holidays arrive with all of their festive cookies and fruit cakes? Eat them! Yes, you can have all of the goodies when the holidays arrive, you just have to be smart about it–with these paleo cookies!
Make your own, make them pretty, bring them to your parties. No one has to know.
That’s exactly why I put together this collection of my favorite Paleo Holiday Cookie Recipes. Have your cookie, cake, or favorite sweet treat. But, as with everything, enjoy in moderation. These are still sweet treats after all. Happy Holidays!
First, I just want to give you a few cookie making tips. There are three tools that I simply can’t make cookies without. If you don’t have them, then order them immediately and save yourself many headaches in the kitchen!
âžś Cookie Scoop: it makes the perfect uniform cookie every single time, and does not stick to the scoop. MUST. HAVE.
âžś Silpat: a silicon baking mat that eliminates stuck on cookies. CAN’T. LIVE. WITHOUT.
âžś Stand Mixer: two words: hands free. ‘Nuff said.
