Ok, the last time I posted a gluten free recipe, there was a little eye rolling in the crowd. But I am here to tell you that you could never tell the difference in a million years with this recipe. Actually with lots of the recipe I have been making gluten free lately.
I told you the deal with Pia’s food allergies a few months ago, and truth be told, we are still a few weeks from sorting out all of the specifics on exactly what she is allergic to and how severely. In the meantime I have been trying my hardest to keep things normal (and delicious!) with tons of gluten-free treats.
And honest to goodness, a few months ago I found Cup 4 Cup flour at my local grocery store and threw it in the cart with 5 other varieties. I knew I was just going to have to experiment and see what happened with these flours. It was with Cup 4 Cup that I found I really didn’t have to do much experimenting at all. It was immediately the family favorite as I found that I was able to swap it for AP flour in almost everyone of my standard recipes. Do you have any idea what a relief that was?! And even better was the fact that most of the recipes, you truly could not tell the difference!
So when I was approached by Cup 4 Cup to see if I would develop a gluten free cookie recipe for them, I was so excited! I am genuinely quite passionate about this product, it has made things much easier for my family.
I am sharing this recipe, which is intentionally “Kid Friendly” because I suspect there are more and more parents trying to cope with food allergies for their kids and still keeping them happy. But, I didn’t forget about the grown ups! I have another, slightly more “grown up cookie” that is still gluten-free and I am posting it this week.
THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED!!

Recipe: Candy Cane Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gluten-Free) plus a BIG Giveaway!
makes 2 1/2 dozen cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 2 eggs
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2 ½ cups gluten free flour (I used cup 4 cup)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 large candy canes, crushed
- 12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare sheet pans with silpats or parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a standing mixer, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and the extract and combine well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well and add to the cookie dough. Combine well.
- Add the Candy canes and chocolate chips and mix just until the candy has been incorporated.
- Scoop by the rounded tablespoon onto the pans, leaving lots of room for the cookies to spread (because they will spread quite a bit.)
- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes and then let them cool for a few moments on the baking pan before transferring them to a cooling rack or counter top.
- These store really well in the freezer!

I really love the roasted chicken my mum does!

i love christmas morning breakfast! cinnamon rolls or french toast or pancakes!
I love the stuffing!
My dad makes incredible enchiladas every year on Christmas.
I love prime rib along with the mashed potatoes
Fabulous cookies! My Grandma makes incredible sticky buns that I look forward to every Christmas!
Our good old Christmas prime rib is our family favorite!
My Italian family makes crab cioppino every Christmas Eve and I Iook forward to it every year!
I love this recipe, and have a friend who can only eat gluten free.. I always feel bad because I’m always sending cookies to her house for her daughters, but she can’t ever eat them. I think this weekend I’m going to make these peppermint chocolate chip cookies and surprise her. Thanks so much for sharing this..
I love horseradish encrusted beef tenderloin with garlic mashed potatoes for Christmas dinner… I try to change it up each year… But I have to say that’s my favorite! <3
We always have a big mexican meal and I love that!
We celebrate with a whole tied filet mignon and potato croquettes. This dinner is saved for Christmas every year!
My favorite Christmas dish is a nice prime rib roast!
How disappointing…I’m in Canada so won’t be legible for your prize! I am helping a friend find gluten free products and recipes so this was very timely…..
My favorite holiday meal is Xmas morning…..mimosas, overnight egg strata, and homemade sticky cinnamon buns, and lots of fresh fruit!
Bing cherry salad!
Can’t wait for the corn pudding!
Fabulous gluten free cookie recipe, Heather! I’m glad you are having success with Cup 4 Cup gluten free flour. It has not disappointed me yet! And, I am glad you are getting to the bottom of your daughter’s food allergies. They are not fun! Have a great rest of the week! xo
My favorite Christmas “dish” is lefse. It’s the food that brings back so many happy memories of our family traditions and Christmases past.
I like the ham and sweet potatoes we have at Christmas.
WE love Sausage Balls for breakfast!
I love Turkey and stuffing. Also Christmas cookies.
Tamales!!!! Merry Christmas:)
My friend, Jan’s, lefse is so delicate, you can almost see through it. My absolute favoriteChristmastime foods are the “goodies” my mom and I would make when I was little, and which I make now that she’s gone: chocolate balls, coconut peaks, Mexican wedding cakes, rosettes, apricot date balls, chocolate macaroons. I feel my mom with me as I make these, and it is then it becomes Christmas.
My Christmas food memories are all about Mom’s 50s/60s-era treats!! Fudge (attributed to Mamie Eisenhower), orange balls, coconut balls (“Martha Washington candy”), mincemeat squares, cut-out cookies, Mexican wedding cookies. And the Whitman’s 4-piece sampler that, along with a navel orange, was ALWAYS in our stocking on Christmas morning!!
Smoked turkey on the BBQ along with mashed yams! And of course all of the desserts
Smoked turkey on the BBQ along with mashed yams, and of course all the desserts!
I always look forward to the dessert, whatever it may be!
I am Cuban and miss the delicious slow cooked pig in the ground, black beans with rice or congris(beans & rice cooked together) and my Moms amazing yucca with mojo. Dessert is always a variety of sugar coated churros or my favorite tres leches(3 milk cake). Delicious flavors and aromas!!
My new favorite is a French beef stew with red wine (http://katieatthekitchendoor.com/2012/10/17/cookbook-review-and-giveaway-home-made-winter/) over garlic mashed potatoes… Made it last year and looooved it!
Prime rib roast dinner
P.S. These cookies sound FANTASTIC even for gluten-free people like me!
Sorry for the multiple replies, meant to say “non-gluten-free” people like me! Have you tried any of the pre-made cookie dough by EatPastry.Com? I tried the chocolate chip, thought it was pretty good. My kids thought it was kind of OK, not great so I doctored it up with a Tablespoon of instant coffee and about a cup of GF rice krispies. Made a huge difference in the taste and we all thought they were great! Again, I’m not GF but wanted to be able to bake Christmas treats for some friends who are GF.
Eggnog! A guilty treat reserved for the holiday season!
Our tradition is a beef tenderloin roast, some kind of cheesy potatoes and roasted asparagus. Then of course all the fun desserts!
Scallops in brown butter oh lots of appetizers.
Love the cookies! And Cup4Cup flour is GREAT!
So my favorite Christmas dish is homemade cinnamon rolls! I know not normal but oh so delish!!!
mom’s sweet and sour green beans
Perfect for the holidays!
Beef Wellington with a bunch of sides!
Hi I’m from Canada and realize I cannot win the giveaway, but just wanted to comment on the cup for cup flour. It is awesome! I just finished making my second batch of banana bread and everyone in the house loves it. It is a bit stickier while mixing but otherwise it is the same. No guess work involved. Just wanted to let you know that. Have a very Merry Christmas.
Sue
Beef wellington! its on the menu again this year!! I have never seen that brand and would be very excited to try it. My adult daughter and mother both have gluten sensitivity issues. And I NEED a food processor. Merry Christmas!
My favorite Christmas dish is a big pot of seafood in red sauce over a bed of fettucine.
My mom’s infamous overly-seasoned Chex Mix! She makes such a big batch that she has to use a big (clean!) garbage bag to mix it in! This month she had shoulder surgery, so she had to direct my dad on how to make it. Needless to say, he is now appreciating how much work and effort she puts into everything.
Since I can’t be home for the holidays, I decided to try my hand at making it for the first time. My two little boys have tree nut allergies–and one peanut allergy–so I swapped out the traditional mixed nuts for CornNuts(tm)! My boys are excited that they can now enjoy this snack that is such a tradition in my family!
PS Also pickled herring–the little kids flock around my dad like hungry baby birds as he doles out pieces to them. It is quite a sight!!
My favorite Christmas food was my grandma’s walnut fudge. It was the most magnificent, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate treat that ever existed.
Every Christmas Eve we have New Mexico Green Chile stew, it’s by far my favorite!
I love Christmas Eve – we do all appetizers. One of my favorites appetizers is Chicken Satay, so good! Another is pan fried polenta squares with goat cheese, caramelized onions, and honey – a little more work, but delicious!
I like to indulge the Greek cookies: Melomakarona and koulourakia this time of year. Both my mom and godmother have excellent recipes. We are not big turkey fans at our house. My mom roasts lamb with potatoes. Merry Christmas and yes Cup4Cup is a wonderful substitute!!
The dozens of gluten free cookies we make each year. Back to the kitchen!
My favorite Christmas dish is the lasagna my uncle makes! We go to his place every Christmas afternoon and he has at least 5 pounds of homemade lasagna, it’s 2 DIE 4.
I do a rib roast with roasted potatoes and roasted bacon-wrapped asparagus.
I really love whatever yummy breakfast (with mimosas) we end up having. This year is looking like orange custard french toast
We make lasagna for Christmas
My favorite Christmas morning breakfast: mimosa’s, homemade cinnamon rolls,and rosemary bacon!
my favorite thing to eat at christmas is the breakfast casserole we have on christmas morning!
I love Chistmas ham!
My favorite Christmas dish is the cookies! 🙂 I guess it’s not quite a dish, but it’s what I look forward to most of all–and with peppermint ice cream. Yum!
So hard to decide… for Christmas Eve we always have croissant stuffed french toast, so I think I’ll have to go with that!
So hard to choose! But I definitely love the cut out cookie baking. It seems tedious at any other time in the year but so much fun over the holidays.
My favorite Christmas dinner is ham, a casserole made with yellow rice ( so super quick & easy)
Probably baklava. My mom and her friend learned to make it and did for Christmas when I was a teenager. It was such an exotic thing back then and we loved it. I have two family members that are seriously GF and many of the kids in my eldest granddaughter’s class are as well. I started collecting GF recipes and passing them on. They will be very excited with this cookie recipe!
Okay, I’ll bite. Prime rib with horseradish, followed closely by Niko’s Ginger Cake.
Yum!! Gluten-free or not, I’m all about these!! They look perfect for the holidays!
My absolute favorite part of Christmas dinner is the turkey dressing. I even make turkey dressing sandwiches with the leftovers!
Christmas Eve enchiladas
Too many favorites….my mom’s ginger cream cookies, prime rib roast, and my dad’s homemade sausage with fennel seed and cayenne pepper!
The dessert I can’t live without at Christmas is pecan pie. My mother-in-law bakes amazing pies and she always brings at least one pecan pie. Yummy!
I just started using Cup 4 Cup flour about a month ago. I haven’t tried biscuits, pizza crust or bread yet but to much to my surprise, it makes fantastic GF sourdough pancakes! Yes, I know they aren’t truly GF yet because I used a wheat-fed sourdough starter, but the gluten content becomes smaller and smaller each time I feed the starter with Cup 4 Cup instead of regular flour and it will eventually be completely replaced. Cup 4 Cup is awesome!
I can’t wait to try this GF flour! As for the giveaway-awesome!! My fave holiday dish: stuffing.
My favorite Christmas meal is roasted pork shoulder with rice and pigeon peas 🙂
My favorite Christmas Day Dinner is roast pork with gravy and german dumplings called kolesse. My german great grandmother was always in the kitchen when I was little , she brought so many yummy recipes with her from Germany. Her desserts were to die for.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
I love love love my Mother’s cinnamon sticky buns we eat at brunch then graze on the rest of Christmas day. So good for the waistline 🙂
My favorite dish is creamy and buttery mustard mashed potatoes.
I like any kind of cheesecake. I know that isn’t necessarily a traditional Christmas dish but that is what is tradition to me – and I love it!
My favorite Christmas food is ham with pineapple casserole. Thank you for this gluten free cookie recipe and mentioning the Cup4Cup flour. I will buy some and try it. It would be nice to be that simple. Thank you for the contest!
Nothing better than my mom’s prime rib at Christmas. Love it!
We do a traditional steamed pudding with hard sauce every year which I love! The pudding has carrots (yep), apples and raisins and it’s so good!
Chicken and noodles are my favorite dish for Christmas day. Cooked cinnamon apples with homemade granola on top for dessert (which is new this year).
Hands down the appetizer table at our big family gathering of 80+ cousins, aunts, uncles and such gets my vote. A couple of favorites to be found every year are Aunt Shirley’s deviled eggs, Uncle Harold’s meatballs and Aunt Patty’s candy cane encrusted, chocolate dipped potato chips. I just gained 3 1/2 lbs.
New to the party over the last few years is a craft cocktail bar that my sister Meghan puts together. Peppermint vodka in a dozen ways.
chinese food!
My absolute favorite is Crown Roast of Pork. After I carve and give everyone their boneless chop I save the bones for my late night snack!!
Ohhh, these are perfect for Christmas! Such a great giveaway too, thanks!
Of all the Christmas foods and traditions my favorite is always the Gingerbread Men cookies I make using my mom’s recipe! Nothing tastes like the Holidays more than a bite of those cookies. 🙂
We love a tasty Prime Rib and garlic mashed potatoes.
We always have Ham with a Dijon sauce, cheesy potatoes and blue cheese rolls.
Yum yum yum!!
My all-time favorite food during Christmas is a Norwegian treat called lefse. My grandparents taught us how to make it, and my mom and I have carried on the tradition and make it every Christmas. I have a lot of fond memories of being in my grandparents’ kitchen and everyone had their job – one person would be making dough, one would roll it out, and another would flip it on the griddle.
Cornbread dressing is my favorite! Nobody can make it the way my grandmother used to, but I still love it!
I grew up with Italian food traditions, but I still love ham and mashed potatoes for Christmas dinner. Salami and crackers for appetizers.
Standing rib with twice baked potatoes! Merry Christmas and thanks for the great give away!
What an awesome giveaway! I have some family members who are now gluten free, and I’ve also noticed I feel much better when I limit my refined sugar (bread included). I’ve been wanting to try Cup4Cup for a while, since I keep hearing from bloggers that it’s the closest substitute to AP flour they’ve found.
Even Christmas, my extended family gets together and we have a traditional Swiss Christmas. One of the nights before Christmas we always have bratwurst and it’s my favorite Christmas dish. Not a usual holiday meal, but delicious!
My favorite is traditional turkey and dressing. We wait all year for my mom’s dressing. Merry Christmas!!!!!
My favorite food for Christmas is shrimp remoulade. I find it way better than cocktail sauce.
Cheese, meat, and chocolate fondue! Endless breads, veggies, meat, fruit, and desserts in sinful dips….what’s not to love! 😉
Tamles! Tamales! Tamales!
My family’s “Not Your Ordinary Green Bean Casserole” is my favorite holiday dish. And stuffing with cranberries 🙂
Chicken breasts stuffed with feta and asparagus topped off with olive oil and Italian bread crumbs… comfort food and better than the usual turkey feast.
Seafood!
Even though they aren’t Christmasy, I love my mom’s Key Lime White Chocolate cookie cups that she makes every year.
Love a huge pile of bacon, mimosas, and my mom’s braided Christmas bread (sour cherries, almond, and a lemon glaze)
Christmas Brunch! Our whole family gets together after opening presents and we enjoy brunch together, I love it!
This was such a fun cookie exchange ~ I love what you baked 🙂
Cioppino’s is our families traditional Christmas dinner and it’s my long time favorite!
I love a good ham with pineapple and cloves.and chocolate mint treats are my favorite.

I love Standing Rib Roast and twice baked potatoes. Also, the Wedding cookings with pecans. I have been looking for cup4cup flour to try as my neighbor is gluten free. I share everything I bake with her as I cook/bake just for myself. I haven’t been able to find it any store near me yet.
Prime rib roast is our Christmas eve special!
I HAVE TO SAY MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS DISH IS MADE BY OUR FAMILY FRIEND, WHEN WE ALL- FRIENDS AND FAMILY- GATHER AT HIS HOUSE AND HAVE CHRISTMAS “BREAKFAST” WHICH CONSISTS OF ALOT OF FOOD, BUT THE BEST IS HIS FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE!
Homemade tamales! Yum
My favorite Christmas dish is Chicken and dumplings, originally baked by my grandmother and handed down to my mom, then me, and on to my daughters. It is more like a chicken pot pie with chicken and dumpling layers inside but the crust is somewhere between pie crust an biscuit texture and flakey and buttery with the chicken and creamy insides! What could be better on a cold day….or any day for that matter?
Ginger cookies and also peppermint ice cream!!
Roasted duck.
My grandma’s Scalloped Corn dish. Um, and her Finnish Coffee Bread, a.k.a. Pulla (A braided, sweet bread made with cardamon {swoon})!
Oh how could I forget?! We ALWAYS start our Christmas morn with Kropsua (Finnish Oven Pancakes). It’s been a tradition ever since I can remember when I was a little girl. Now that my oldest daughter has been married she carries that family tradition on (but now gluten-free due to both her & hubby’s medical conditions [R.A., Gastroparesis, IBS, & Fibromyalgia just to namea few–bless their hearts!]). I can’t even begin to estimate how many generations in our family before us have done the exact same.♡
My favorite Chrstmas dish is my mom’s garlic roasted potatoes.
Christmas cookies, definitely!
Fried cabbage – we always serve it as an appetizer, and it’s been my favorite since childhood. I eat gluten-free and love Cup4Cup! I tried other brands, but once I tried it, I was hooked.
I am looking forward to making this recipe, I have a few family members that have a gluten intolerance.
My grandma used to make these cookies she called rum logs at Christmas, they were my favorite!
I love our family’s recipe for choco-cherry cookies. We usually have to eat them outside because one of my aunts is allergic to chocolate (so all chocolate is banned to the porch), but that’s okay because I actually think they taste better frozen – well, slightly thawed, but still cold. 🙂
Thanks for the gluten free recipe and info on a good flour – I have family member who recently had to go gluten free, so it’s helpful to know what to be able to make for her.
Peanut butter blossoms!!!
I love our standing rib roast and garlic mashed potatoes. This year, I look forward to making gluten free Yorkshire Pudding, a family tradition from my side of the family.
my favorite dish is prime rib with Yorkshire pudding!
my grandmothers homemade apple strudel (dough from scratch)
I love homemade cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning!
My favorite Christmas dish is my Grandmother’s chocolate pecan pie! So delicious and even though she has passed away, I now make it every year in her honor!
The Swedish meatballs my grandpa used to make.
I love my Grandmother’s dressing (stuffing) at dinner and we always have cinnamon rolls for breakfast! Yum.
My favorite Christmas dish is an Italian tradition, rice balls. We get together to make them as a family, cousins, aunts, uncles. they are not only delicious but a very special time when making them.
I love Christmas Morning Cake, molasses cranberries and spice. With a nice cup of strong coffee or hot chocolate Yum!
My mom is such a fabulous cook it’s so hard to pick just one thing! But…my absolute favorite has got to be the redskin smashed potatoes. I love ’em lumpy – with cream cheese, red onion and horseradish. YUM!
I love Chocolate Crinkles. They tell me Christmas is hear. Otherwise the entire line up of potato and leek soup, with fresh bread for Christmas Eve is probably my favorite meal.
My mom makes 2 dishes that are staples on our Christmas table. She makes a clove and pineapple glazed ham and cheesy scalloped potatoes. *drooling*
I actually have a favorite Christmas drink and that is Eggnog Latte! Thanks for the giveaway
I really like Romanian stuff cabbage rolls. They are stuffed with ground beef and pork. To die for!! For dessert I love cinnamon rolls!

Cant wait to try ur recipe
My favorite Christmas
My favorite Christmas dish is my Mom’s homemade pizzelle cookies. It is a family recipe that my Nana handed down to her. It reminds me of Christmas Eve when I was growing up.
So hard to pick one dish as I love the whole combination of flavours! I guess I’m gonna have to go with the turkey and gravy. To me the turkey is the star of the Christmas feast!
I love Prime Rib for Christmas.
My favorite Christmas dish is always Turkey with bread stuffing
My NEW favorite are your maple caramel pumpkin bars. They are the perfect holiday dessert and anyone who says dessert isn’t their favorite dish, shouldn’t be trusted! 🙂
Roast with scalloped potato
These look fantastic! I’m worried as I’m starting to believe gluten may not be my best friend – even though I just love most gluteny foods! I have your Chocolate Peppermint Frosted cookies on my to make list and I was wondering if you’d tried your gluten free flour in that recipe? And if so, how did they turn out? Thanks so much!
ABSOLUTELY Marisa- they will be great. I usually add about 1/4 cup extra flour since gluten free tends to spread a little. This flour has been a pretty easy adjustment in the cookie category- just keep an eye on the baking time, they may need a little less or more depending on the recipe.
Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate it and am going to give this a try! Merry Christmas 🙂
Stuffing. With gravy. Just love it.,
My wife makes an amazing baked ham and prime rib, indulgent and delicious.
Since we usually only have it once a year, roast turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing is my favorite Christmas meal
Digicats {at} Sbcglobal {dot} Net
Turkey breast and stuffing
Stuffing. Or dressing if its not in the bird. So delish. My mother’s recipe has Velveeta in it and it is amazing. Don’t judge until you’ve tried it!
Prime rib. We always have prime rib for Christmas. I look forward to it all year.(With sour cream horseradish, of course.) 😀
Our traditional Christmas Eve dinner always includes prime rib and Ina Garten’s roasted butternut squash!
Prime Rib!!!
Prime rib roast….yummmm! Roasted asparagus, mashed potatoes and my grandma’s famous homemade applesauce!
Our family’s favorite dish for Christmas dinner is my sister’s popover recipe! Simple but so delicious with a little butter and homemade raspberry jam. Everyone is trying to get to that item first in our buffet line-up. It wouldn’t be Christmas without them!
My favorite Christmas dish is beef tenderloin with gorgonzola sauce.
We love corned beef boiled & then baked with a brown sugar mustard crust. The sides include brussel sprouts and crispy smashed potatoes. Dessert is a lovely bread pudding with whiskey sauce.
Happy Holidays!
My favorite Christmas meal is smoked ham and scalloped potatoes. Yumm!
i love my mother stuffed cabbage, it brings back so many childhood memories, especially when some holidays can be tough, so it great to get in the kitchen and share xmas memories, while making stuffed cabbage.
We make prime rib and scalloped potatoes so I can’t wait!
I love tamales for the holidays!
We make a lot of baked goods…I have had to revamp it now that I am gluten free! Can’t wait to try the candy cane cookies!!! Thanks!!
French toast casserole!
Chocolate chip cookies with chopped orange segment candies in them.
I love seafood newburg!
We always have roasted chicken with potatoes!
My favorite is fried chicken with sweet potato casserole and creamed corn. My mother was the best southern cook you could find.
Gingerbread!
I really love all the sweet stuff everyone makes but my favorite would be Peanut Butter Balls!
Thanks
My mother always made fudge but no candy thermometers then! She would drop some of the syrup in a bowl of cold water and feel how soft or hard to know if it was done. Sometimes we ate it with a spoon! She always, always made Russian Tea Cakes (some call Mexican Wedding Cakes) and I’ve always made them every year. It is now a part of my daughter’s tradition to make them every year.
My sister and I make pounds and pounds of toffee and give it to friends every year. We won’t give the recipe so we can always give the toffee. Friends anticipate it every year.
Everytime I smell my mom’s potato casserole I think of the holidays! She makes it every year! It’s my favorite!
I love a good glazed ham on Christmas!!! BTW, I can’t wait for your next cookbook because my son is allergic to peanuts, eggs, and I suspect something else too because his eczema is bad. Poor guy!!! 🙁
Do you use unsalted or salted butter for this recipe?
Rebecca, I use salt because I like that extra little bit, but typically one would use unsalted.
We always have a big family dinner at my dad’s on Christmas Eve. My uncle makes this pineapple casserole that sounds odd but is addicting and pairs perfectly with the salty ham.
My favorite Christmas dish is a dessert my grandmother makes – Broken Glass Torte. It was my favorite as a little girl and is filled with nostalgia. She is 97 this year and she still makes it just for me. (Thank you for the Cup4Cup recommendation; I take your words as gospel! I hope to adapt this to be more of a toffee cookie for my babes and I love that they freeze well.)
Sausage stuffing!!! Recently diagnosed with Neurological Celiacs through blood work & endoscope & could not have any at this past Thanksgiving for I now have to eat gluten free.
