Perfect for holiday gift-giving, these gluten-free white chocolate gingerbread cookies are pretty and delicious! I love packaging these up in cute containers for Christmas gifts. These will soon become your favorite gluten-free ginger cookies because of the addition of white chocolate! I’m always looking for a few new gluten-free Christmas cookies to add some variety to my baking each year and thought I should share one of my favorites in case you’re looking for new ones too! These gluten-free gingerbread cookies are like a soft and chewy version of a gluten-free gingersnap cookie. These are adapted from my gluten-free gingersnap cookies that are dipped in white chocolate. This version is easier – you don’t have to wait for cookies to cool and then dip and set. The addition of white chocolate chips or chunks adds just the right amount of sweetness to counter the spicy flavor of the ginger. Rolling the cookie dough in sugar adds the perfect touch of sparkle to make these a pretty addition to your gluten-free holiday cookie trays! These gluten-free gingerbread cookies are are a soft but sturdy cookie that will hold up well in your cookie jar or packaged up and given as gifts. My mom was here when I made these and immediately requested that I bake these to mail her for her Christmas gift. (She’s not gluten-free either!) I hope you’ll make these gluten-free ginger snaps for your family and friends this holiday season! My other favorite Christmas treats to include for gift giving are my homemade gluten-free sea salt caramels, and my gluten-free Christmas bars. I know my Dad and husband would love these sugared pecans if I made them and packaged for Christmas too. If you’d like to try a cookie similar to mine but that is dairy-free and has vegan options, try these molasses cookies. And if you’re looking for a paleo Christmas cookie, check out these paleo almond flour gingerbread men cookies. These gluten-free gingerbread cookies are like a soft and chewy version of a gingersnap cookie. Recipe has been tested with gfJules flour and Pamela's flour which have gums added already.

This makes a lot of cookies! They are delicious - my husband loved them and said you can't tell they are gluten free. I used coconut oil in place of the shortening with no issus.
