Rather than our usual recipe of the week, this post will include links to a number of recipes for Christmas cookies that we’d recommend! If not already included, use maple sugar, coconut sugar, rapadura and succanant as alternative sweeteners. If you have recipes to link to that honor our dietary recommendations, let us know in the comments!
Sprouted Flour Christmas Cookies and Buttermilk Frosting This recipe was published on Ann Marie Michaels’ website, but was not readable because html code for links obstructed most of the lines, so I cleaned it all up rather than link to a recipe that would not serve anyone!
Renea Reay-Buchholz Sourdough Gingerbread Cookies
The Prairie Homestead Sprouted Flour Cookies Note that we don’t recommend chocolate, but this is optional in the recipe in any case!
Cultures for Health Sprouted Flour Sugar Cookies – made with maple sugar. Same recipe is also published by To Your Health Sprouted Flour Company

By request, I’ve added some gluten free recipes! I didn’t look for gluten–free recipes last year when I published this list because they generally include flours and ingredients we tend to avoid, however these are recipes I found that we’d recommend for an occasional treat:
The Hint of Rosemary Coconut Flour Christmas Cutouts
Raising Generation Nourished Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookies. Note that we’d recommend this organic version of the white rice flour.
Recipes to Nourish Gluten Free Honey Gingerbread Cookies
Traditional Cooking School Paleo Sugar Cookies With Pumpkin Glaze – pumpkin glaze can be skipped for a simple sugar cookie!
GF – any xmas cookie recipes?
I didn’t look for gluten–free recipes because they generally include flours we tend to avoid, such as nut flours: http://empoweredsustenance.com/avoid-almond-flour/. Also, we aren’t convinced that most people truly need to avoid gluten: https://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/vegetarianism-and-plant-foods/to-gluten-or-not-to-gluten/ and https://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/food-features/dangers-gluten-free-foods/#gsc.tab=0. If you do, perhaps look for recipes online that don’t include refined sugars and are made with coconut flour: https://empoweredsustenance.com/coconut-flour-101/
I’ve added 4 gluten-free recipes this year!
How much butter for the recipe?
