Gluten Free Thumbprint Cookies

Gluten Free Thumbprint Cookies

Gluten free thumbprint cookies are one of those simple, timeless treats that never disappoint. Soft, buttery, and lightly crisp on the edges, these cookies are shaped with a little indentation, the “thumbprint”, and filled with your favourite jam. Raspberry is my go-to, but you can use whatever you love or whatever you have on hand.

They’re the perfect mix of melt-in-your-mouth cookie and sweet, fruity centre, they also bake up beautifully with gluten free flour. These cookies look adorable on holiday cookie trays, pack well for gifting, and are easy enough for a quick afternoon bake. You can make them festive by switching up the jam colours or using curds or even chocolate in the centre.

Simple, classic, and endlessly customizable, these gluten free thumbprint cookies are always a hit.

Gluten Free Piped Sugar Cookies (Butter Cookies)

These Gluten Free Piped Sugar Cookies, also known as classic butter cookies, are the kind of treat that never goes out of style. They’re soft, lightly crisp on the edges, buttery all the way through, and they practically melt in your mouth. If you’ve ever had those iconic Danish butter cookies from a holiday tin, these are just like that … only gluten free and so much better.

I dyed part of the dough green to pipe beautiful wreaths, and another portion red to create cute little bows. They hold their shape beautifully when baked, making them ideal for festive designs. Whether you keep them simple or decorate them with sprinkles, these cookies are a must-bake for the season! No matter how you decorate them, these cookies are classic, festive, and perfect for gifting or holiday cookie trays.
