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.

This is my go-to autumn cocktail. It’s insanely easy to make, perfect for big gatherings and its warm spices make my house smell ahh-mazing. We’re having a bunch of families over before we commence trick-or-treating this year and I’m already planning to have a pot of this stuff on hand. Simply heat up the apple cider in a slow cooker or stockpot with the spices. All the kids can drink it as is and the grown-ups can add a little kick to their mug as needed. Pro tip (er, confession): We sometimes take one to-go in a coffee thermos for a cozy Trick-or-Treat roadie. It’s good way to stay warm—responsibly, of course!—as we trek from house to house.   Kentucky Mulled Cider Ingredients: Apple cider Dash of cinnamon Dash of nutmeg 1¼ oz of your favorite bourbon Cinnamon stick or star anise pod Orange peel strip Warm the apple cider over low heat, stirring in the cinnamon and nutmeg.
