Gluten-Free Candy Cane Cookies

Jump to Recipe

My mom, who was nicknamed Cookie, made hundreds of Christmas Cookies every year. Candy Cane cookies were some of my absolute favorites. This year we decided to make them gluten-free because I’ve been on a gluten-free diet for about 15 months now. I can’t let being gluten-free stop me from enjoying baking and making Christmas cookies with my littles.

I’ve been baking a lot this holiday season and my go-to for gluten free flour has been Open Nature brand. They make a silky gluten-free flour that is so similar to white flour you can’t really tell the difference.

We had a lot of little helpers making these — so some were a little messy. These make fun memories for years to come.

I hope you enjoy these!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 C butter softened
  • 1 C sugar
  • 1/4 C confectioners sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1 egg
  • 2 1/2 C Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • all-natural *red* food coloring

Instructions
 

  • Beat together butter, sugars, vanilla and peppermint extract along with the egg. 
  • Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
  • Stir them in together. Once dough is formed separate half of dough into another bowl.
  • Add several drops of red food coloring, mix it with your hands until colored all the way through evenly.
  • With your hands take some of the plain dough and form a narrow strip (like a snake). Do the same with the red dough. Swirl them together until you make a pattern similar to a candy-cane.
  • Bake at 350f for 10 min.
