Best Gluten Free Christmas Cookies
Growing up in Davis, a small town in Northern California, I made treats for our family friends and wrapped them in boxes bought from our local Chinese restaurant.
This was the 1970s, long before the advent of Michael’s and other craft stores.
Homemade Cookies for Christmas
I’d stuff each box with my homemade cookies and fudge, then add the finishing touch, a pretty red ribbon.
After that, my parents would drive me all over town for our own Christmas cookie delivery.

Now we use more festive containers, such as these adorable santa, snowman, and holiday treat boxes that you can order online, filling them with my low-carb gluten free cookies.
