    These Buttery Spritz Cookies are a traditional Christmas cookie that we adapted to be gluten & dairy free! They're fun & festive, sweet & chewy, and have just the right amount of buttery flavor.

    Gluten-Free Spritz Cookies

    Use a cookie press to turn this super easy butter cookie dough into fun holiday shapes and get creative decorating them in different colors!

    They're the perfect cookie to bring along to your holiday gatherings and they're always a festive addition to your gluten-free cookie tray!

    How to Make these Spritz Cookies

    Here's what you'll need!

    • Butter, egg, sugar, vanilla extract & salt.
    • Flour: Grab your favorite Gluten Free 1 to 1 baking flour. We used Josie's Best Muffin & More  gluten-free flour and the cookies turned out perfect! I have also used Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 flour with great results!
    • Mixing Bowl, Cookie Press and a Baking Sheet
    • Food Coloring and Decorations. Optional, but necessary in my opinion to make these cookies extra festive!

    Looking for artificial dye-free alternatives?

    There are a lot of options out there, but we used Watkins Natural Food Coloring to make these christmas trees green! You can also find many options for dye-free sprinkles and sugar crystals with a quick Amazon search.

    Storage Suggestions

    These Gluten-Free Spritz Cookies are freezer friendly with no change in taste after thawing! We start our Christmas cookie baking early, pop them in an airtight container in the freezer then defrost overnight when needed...usually on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning so they're thawed by dessert time!

    Let's Bake!

    Make ahead! These cookies freeze well for up to 2 months so go ahead and get your holiday baking done early! Thaw overnight before serving.
