How to Enter The Gluten Free Cookie Swap:

Post a photo of your cookies along with the full recipe (no links to other sites) using the form below. If you are using someone else’s recipe but made it GF, you must give full credit. Once you’ve entered, ask your friends, neighbors and co-workers to vote for your recipe by CLICKING THE VOTE NOW BUTTON BELOW YOUR RECIPE. (Use the social share icons to share your recipe and ask for votes that way, too!)

Winning recipes are those with the most votes. Do not post the same recipe more than once; you can enter one recipe per day. Only photos with recipes submitted between December 1 – January 1, 2023 will be eligible for the 2022 contest. On January 1, 2023 at 11:59pm EST, the contest closes.

The top 10 cookie recipes — as determined by the number of votes — will be selected for the Bake-Off. Those entrants will send in 2 dozen of their gluten-free cookies (baked according to their recipe and only using certified gluten-free flours) for a blind taste test. The top 3 ranked cookies will win prizes!

Prizes will only be awarded to those with US Shipping Addresses (sorry!). During the bake-off, cookies will be judged by a panel of impartial judges who will review the cookies for taste, texture, appearance and whether there is any unwanted aftertaste; gfJules will NOT be judging the cookies at the bake-off. Full official rules linked below.
