Gluten Free Cookie Mix in a Jar

I don’t know about your list, but my holiday list has lots of people on it with various dietary restrictions: celiac, gluten sensitivity, vegan, soy-free, nut-free … but one thing I know for sure: everyone loves cookies!

The beauty behind making these cute gluten free cookie mixes in a jar is that when you start with allergen-free ingredients, the recipient is free to add eggs or not, use dairy-free milk or not, choose vegan butter or not. The cookies then turn out great, and suitable for all!

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix: 

Add

• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1/2 cup butter or vegan substitute
• 2 eggs or substitute
• 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Mix ingredients well. Place teaspoons of dough onto parchment-lined cookie sheets & bake at 350F for 9-10 minutes.

Gluten-Free Sugar Cookie Mix

Add:

• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1 egg or substitute
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup milk

Mix ingredients well. Cover dough & refrigerate til cold. Roll in GF flour & use cutters. Bake on parchment-lined cookie sheets at 350F for 8 minutes.

I’ve given you a couple good gluten free cookie mix recipes here, but feel free to get creative! The key is to start with quality ingredients that are already certified gluten-free and certified free of the Top 8 food allergens – that way you have nearly everyone covered. (Note that these mixes work great with egg substitutes and vegan butter and milk.)

I created gluten free cookie mix in jar labels for you, to help save time, but you could hand-write whatever you liked or use cute chalkboard labels or attach a printed recipe … it’s your gift, make it how you wanna!

With any recipe, layer the ingredients for the most visual impact. With the Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix, for example, I even divided the gfJules™ flour ingredient in half and separated it for more layers.
