Hmmm cookies. I have a weak spot for them. If I were given the choice between a piece of cake and a freshly baked cookie, I’d choose the cookie every time.

I love seeing Pinterest pictures of festive Christmas cookies and treats to prepare for holiday parties and cookie exchanges. Many of the recipes I’ve pinned are not gluten-free, so I decided to begin creating gluten-free cookie options to share. Last year I shared one of my favorite holiday cookie recipes: Peppermint Bark No-Bake Cookies.

Today I’m sharing a recipe for another peppermint inspired gluten-free cookie: Gluten-Free Candy Cane Kiss Sugar Cookie Cups. Made with a simple gluten-free sugar cookie base (no chilling of dough or rolling required!), and Candy Cane Hershey Kisses, these cookie cups are full of Christmas flavor!

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups gluten-free flour see note
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup butter softened 2 sticks
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 45 Candy Cane Hershey's Kisses 1 bag

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 and place Kisses in the freezer (optional).
  • Whisk together gluten-free flour, salt and baking soda.
  • Use an electric mixture to cream softened butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, then beat in vanilla and egg.
  • Add flour mixture and beat until smooth.
  • Beat in milk.
  • Press 1 tbs of dough into each cup of a non-stick or lightly greased mini muffin pan. (If you don't have a mini muffin pan, you can make cookie blossoms by dropping 1 tbs of dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet).
  • Bake for 10 minutes.
  • While baking, unwrap enough Kisses for each cookie cup.
  • Remove cookies from oven and press a Kiss into the center of each one.
  • Allow to cool completely (you may place in the freezer or fridge once the pan is cooled to harden the candy) and gently pop each cookie cup out using a knife and enjoy!

Notes

I highly recommend Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free 1 To 1 Baking Flour, but you can use the gluten-free flour of your choice.

If you don’t own a mini-muffin pan, you can still enjoy this holiday recipe! Follow the same prep instructions, but instead of pressing a tablespoon of cookie dough into a mini-muffin pan cup, form a ball of dough and place it directly on a lightly greased cookie sheet. When the cookies come out of the oven, press the kisses into the middle to make Candy Cane Kiss Blossom instead of cookie cups.
