I realized December 10th that there were only 2 weeks left until Christmas Eve and I’ve still hardly made any Christmas recipes… (besides the GF peppermint chocolate muffins and 2 latte recipes: vegan eggnog & peppermint mocha). This year has been a whirlwind & incredibly heavy more often than most years – but somehow has still flown by. So, what I’m trying to say is that I needed to come up with some holiday recipes before it was TOO LATE. So, I’m sharing with you: my gluten-free eggnog cookies!!
Gluten-Free Eggnog Cookies! (Vegan Version)
These turned out so soft & dreamy, like those fluffy iced sugar cookies from the grocery store. I stored mine in the fridge after & honestly they were even better cold. These are the perfect cookie for anyone in your life with a gluten or dairy intolerance, looking for a sweet treat for the holidays!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 ¼ cups gluten-free flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup Nutpods Holiday Nog (use code “vitalityvixens” on their site for 15% off!)
- 1 cups of sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 egg yolks *for the vegan version – use 2 flax eggs (2.5 tbsp water + 1 tbsp flaxseed, per egg)*
- 1/2 cup butter (melted) (use dairy-free butter alternative for a non-dairy cookie)
Icing:
- 3/4 cup store-bought cream cheese icing (make sure it’s a dairy-free icing if you want the fully dairy-free version!)
- 1/8 cup Nutpods Holiday Nog (use code “vitalityvixens” on their site for 15% off!)
- Christmas-themed sprinkles (for topping!)
shopping made simple
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Add your dry ingredients (gluten-free flour, baking soda, salt) to a plate. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add your wet ingredients (vanilla, Nutpods Holiday nog, egg yolks, melted butter, sugar, brown sugar) and mix on medium until well combined.
- Add in your dry ingredient mixture, slowly, mixing on low, until fully combined.
- Scoop cookie dough onto an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Let them cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack, to cool completely.
- Mix the vanilla icing & 1/8 cup of Holiday Nog together in a small bowl. Once the cookies are fully cooled, top with icing mixture & sprinkles!

- Have you gotten started on your Christmas baking yet?
- What’s your all-time favorite Christmas cookie?
- Is it cold out where you live? (It’s still in the 70s in FL, which is super weird for someone who grew up in IL!)
Actually, though, these look bananas. Like SO good. I’ve never seen a cookie conveyed so perfectly in a picture. I want to reach through the screen and grab it!
THANK YOU :)) You are too kind!!
