But that’s gotten a bit trickier to do since I’ve gone gluten free. So, I asked my friend and cookie connoisseur Lindsey Johnson (check out her Instagram @ladyinthewildwest) for ideas. She was sweet enough to share this holiday cookie recipe that is both gorgeous and gluten free! The “painted” ornaments are made with a delicious blend of chocolate and peppermint. And while these gluten free Christmas cookies look amazingly artistic, I promise you that they are easier to make than you would think!  Keep reading for Lindsay’s fantastic ornament cookies recipe. And tell me in the comments: What’s your favorite holiday cookie to make (eat!)? Ornament Cookies By Lindsey Johnson One of our favorite cookies for the holiday season, these chocolate peppermint sugar cookies are simple to make, won’t spread in the oven, and taste just like brownies. They’re delicious on their own, but for a festive family craft project, we’ve dipped them in colorful vanilla candy coating and added gold luster dust to make them look like beautiful ornaments.

Candace Nelson, the founder of Sprinkles cupcakes, is one of them, too: I’ve been a huge fan of hers ever since having my first fluffy, perfectly frosted cupcake several years ago, and now my kids can’t get enough of her cupcakes either. I had the opportunity to meet Candace when we were both in Sun Valley this summer, and she was gracious enough to come in the kitchen and show me a couple of her favorite recipes. This one is her signature vanilla cupcake, which is the exact recipe they serve at Sprinkles locations! These classic confections are perfect for kids’ birthday parties, bake sales, or wedding or baby showers—and guess what? The frosting isn’t as intimidating as it seems. Check out the video to see how the cupcakes are made, then let me know how your baking goes in the comments. Enjoy!
