Grain Free Sugar Cookies

November 25, 2015April 7, 2016 Melissa King 22 Comments

I am super excited to share these Grain Free Sugar Cookies with you! These came out so delicious and they have the texture of real cookies without all the unhealthy ingredients! These cookies are paleo approved, vegan and gluten free. If you love to bake during the holiday season, you may want to check out this post as well.

These cookies are hard on the outside and chewy in the middle. Perfect in my opinion. 🙂 I was going to frost them, but I realized I was out of coconut butter to make my 5 minute frosting recipe. So I just topped them with some natural sprinkles instead. I made my cookies kinda big, so I only got 12 in the batch. If you make them smaller, you should be able to double that.

No Bake Peppermint Brownies that are vegan. They are the perfect holiday bars! All you need is about 10 minutes to make them!

These no bake Mint chocolate brownies only call for 5 simple ingredients! I was eating the batter right out of the food processor and let me tell you it’s delicious!

If you have some guests with dietary restrictions, then these might be a good option. If you are a lover of all things peppermint, you may also like my 4 ingredient peppermint fudge or my peppermint truffles.

I used pecans in this recipe, but walnuts would be good as well. I think even sunflower seeds may work for a nut free option.

This easy no bake recipe could be made ahead of time so you have on less thing to cook on the day of your holiday party.
