We have a lot of allergies in my family from nuts, gluten and eggs so we have to be careful with everything we make. After many times trying different mixture of ingredients I think I finally nailed the perfect allergy friendly cookies.

They turned out to be the most delicious cookies ever that hold their shape with no crumble and have the best flavor. I made them for Christmas but you can definitely use this recipe for any occasion such as Valentine’s Day, Easter, etc.

Recipe Tips

• Be sure to roll out the dough on top of floured parchment paper. This will prevent it from sticking to your rolling pin and countertop.
• If the dough is too sticky, you can add more flour (a little at a time) until it forms a smooth ball that is easy to work with.
• Use cookie cutters of your choice to create fun shapes. Or, if you want something really simple, just use a glass or cup to cut out circles.

Storing Leftovers

• Store remaining leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
• To freeze, store in a freezer safe container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw out in fridge over night before consuming.
