Or shall I call them Gingerbread Hazelnut Cookies since they are made primarily with hazelnut flour? Our children have so much fun cutting out and decorating these lovely gluten-free Christmas cookies! Just look at that photo, what is not to love? I am sharing this recipe as part of a wonderful blogging event called Home for the Holidays....Gluten-Free Style hosted by Shirley from gluten-free easily! Twenty-four bloggers were asked to create and share recipes that meant both home and holidays to them. In addition to the recipes, we’ll also be hosting giveaways of the resources you value the most....cookbooks, resource books, apps, and the grand prize, a Vita-Mix!

For me, Home for the Holidays takes me back to baking gingerbread and sugar cookies with my mother. My brothers and I would decorate dozens of cookies with beautiful colored sprinkles and bright white icing. I wanted to share that experience with my own children, only with a healthier, gluten-free version, and thus this recipe was born (actually the recipe came to me in a flash one night). It uses coconut sugar as the main sweetener, along with a powdered coconut sugar icing. Although coconut sugar is definitely a low-glycemic sweetener, it is still sugar, and these cookies are to be considered a sweet treat.
Gingerbread Hazelnut Cut-Out Cookies
I use Bob's Red Mill Hazelnut Meal Flour. It works beautifully in baking. You can check your local health food store for it or buy it on Amazon.com. If you don't want to use coconut sugar or don't have access to it, Sucanat (whole cane sugar) is a good substitute. It still has all of its nutrients intact like coconut sugar, but has a higher glycemic index. For a dairy-free option, use Earth Balance or Coconut Oil in place of the butter (note that I have not tested the recipe this way though). Use currents, raisins, sliced almonds, natural sprinkles (from Let's Do Organic!), or anything else you can imagine to decorate them. I find the dough is best if it is refrigerated overnight. You can make the dough after your children are in bed and then bake the cookies with them in the morning.
Dry Ingredients:
2 cups hazelnut meal flour

Dry Ingredients:
2 cups hazelnut meal flour
1 cup sweet rice flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Wet Ingredients:
1 cup coconut sugar
1/2 cup softened organic butter
1/4 cup blackstrap molasses
1 large organic egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. In a separate, smaller bowl beat with an electric mixer (or vigorously whisk) together the wet ingredients. Add the wet to the dry and mix together. Form into a ball, cover, and place into the refrigerator for a couple of hours or overnight.
When the dough is firm and chilled, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place a large piece of parchment or waxed paper down onto a clean, flat work surface. Lightly flour the paper with sweet rice flour. Take part of the dough and roll it out to a little less than 1/4 inch of thickness. Put the remaining dough back in the fridge to keep it chilled. Cut the dough out using your favorite holiday cookie cutters. Carefully peel away the dough around the cut-outs. Then take a thin spatula and lift the cookies onto a lightly greased cookie sheet.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes depending on how crisp you like them. A few more minutes of baking makes them crispy. Just watch them so they don't overcook. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool. Then repeat with remaining dough. Let cook completely before frosting.
Coconut Sugar Icing
You can refer to my last blog post on How to Make Powdered Coconut Sugar in order to make this icing.
1/2 cup Powdered Coconut Sugar
2 to 3 teaspoons milk (I use almond milk)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Place powdered coconut sugar in a small bowl, whisk in the milk and vanilla. Use to ice cooled cookies. You might need to make more depending on how much icing you like on your cookies. Source: www.NourishingMeals.com

This book is an awesome addition to any gluten-free, whole foods kitchen. It is filled with nutritious recipes that you will want to make over and over again! When I first opened it I literally wanted to bookmark every recipe. It is written by Hallie Klecker who blogs at Daily Bites. Her recipes are gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free.....and amazing.
This is a resource book you will want to have if you are dealing with gluten intolerances or Celiac disease. It covers all the myriad of diseases and symptoms associated with gluten as well as the difference between Celiac Disease and a gluten intolerance. This book was written by Seattle doctor, Stephan Wangen. You can check out his clinic, The IBS Treatment Center for more information.
I don't own this book (though it looks fabulous) so here is the description from Amazon: The Whole Foods Kosher Kitchen makes cooking healthily both easy and delicious. This veritable volume is chock-full of more than 250 recipes, plenty of color illustrations, and advice on which foods are (or aren’t) okay when powdered, canned, or frozen. Lévana promises your new superfood diet will taste so good, you won’t ever go back.
This baking book is newly released! It was coauthored by my good friend and local Naturopathic doctor, Jean Layton. Not only is this a recipe book with over 150 recipes, but also a resource book on baking gluten-free. You'll find tips for stocking your kitchen, certain gluten-free baking methods for cakes, cookies, and breads, plus much more!
Please leave a comment to win one of these great books and to be entered into the Grand Prize Giveaway. Remember to include your email address or use your blogger account (with an email address linked in the account). Use your name or initials to distinguish yourself. Your comment will NOT be counted unless we have a way to contact you. Thanks for reading and for your support! :)

ReplyDeleteWe eliminated wheat from our diet several years ago and we stunned how much better we felt. In the past year though we started eating wheat again because we failed to plan ahead and now once again can feel the results. Time to make a change for life. Thanks for your inspiring blogging!

Thanks so much! I love gingerbread. Do you think this recipe works well with almond flour, too? My husband doesn't like hazelnuts.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing giveaway selection. The cookbooks look wonderful, but I have to admit that I would love, love, love the Vitamix. :)
Thanks!
I shared it on Facebook! I have some gluten-free friends who are "newbies," so I know that they will find your recipe particularly helpful at this holiday season.

ReplyDeleteThese cookies are so pretty - and I love the idea of using Hazelnut flour :)
ReplyDeleteAli,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this recipe. I've found that it's not the gluten, it's the wheat. And I've recently discovered the wonders of date sugar as a sweetener alternative that will chemically work in a cookie. Saw your technique for the powdered sugar but don't have a Vitamix - so pick me to win it! I've been racking my brain trying to figure out how am I going to powder that date sugar? I'm thinking I'll put it in a plastic bag and crush it with a rolling pin maybe. These cookies look yummy. Will definitely be trying them.

I have sucanat so I would love to try these. Would almond flour sub for the hazelnut flour? I have that on hand. I'd like to try it the right way too but sounds like fun to try right away. My son loves ginger cookies and so do I. . .and cut out cookies are one of the best memories of Christmas I think :)

ReplyDeletethose look delish! I love getting all the new ideas!
ReplyDeleteI remember as a kid making gingerbread cookies and houses with my mom. I made them with my boys when they were little but have not gone back to them since being gluten and dairy free. I think we're going to have to give these a try. It just looks like so much fun to me.
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy! Can't wait to try them.
ReplyDeleteI shared them on FB
ReplyDeleteI flipped the calendar to December this morning and Christmas hit me like a snowball! This was the perfect recipe to show up on my facebook page shortly after.
ReplyDeleteGoing to try dairy free as well as replacing that egg - cookie recipes are always tricky for my family as we can't have the eggs!
Thanks!

The gingerbread cookies look so yummy! I think I'm going to splurge on hazelnut flour and make it with the kids for the holidays!
ReplyDeleteYummy! Maybe we'll try adding some hazelnut flour to the "old" gingerbread cookie recipe in your book since eggs and dairy are still on the off list for D. These sound soooo good though! Yes, gingerbread cookies are certainly one of those foods that bring back happy holiday memories!
ReplyDeletejuniper_g(at)yahoo(dot)com
Looking forward to trying this recipe with my little sister.
ReplyDeleteOh, how I enjoy receiving your timely email recipes! My husband just asked me this past week if I would be make Gingerbread cookies for the Holidays....now I guess am! - Not only do I have to omit the dairy, but eggs as well. Though I have no choice for myself, I also love making GF/DF/EG/SF goodies for my friends and family knowing I'm feeding them a bit "healthier" version of our old favorites (most don't even know it until I blab!), and now the Cocount Sugar...ooooo, I can't wait to try it! - Blessings to you WLNK, and Happy Holidays!

ReplyDeleteJUST what I was looking for! I love decorative cookies and it's such a hard thing to find with a gluten-free recipe. AND it's made with powdered coconut sugar, so a much lower glycemic index! Every year, my husband and I bake cookies and send them back to our friends and family back east (we're in San Francisco), and now I can send them pretty cookies that are better for them! Thank you so much!

Great idea. love working with coconut sugar...
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful! I was just planning to bake a big batch of gingerbread cookies with my boys.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of trying almond flour inplace of the hazelnut flour. If anyone has tried it and it didn't work, please let me know.
ReplyDeleteI just recently bought a bag of hazelnuts. I think this would be an excellent recipe to try it out with! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with your blog and I check it just about everyday to try new recipes and read about the information you post. I don't usually enter in the drawings but today is different I guess! Hope I win something so I can use it to cook for my family! Cheers :)

Hi, I really do not understand this whole blogger thing but I'll learn. Hopefully almond flour will work for this gingerbread cookie recipe. I look forward to trying it. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI posted earlier, but I'm adding another one because I shared on facebook, and also need to add my e-mail: dezihall@hotmail.com.
ReplyDeleteThanks again. Since finding out I am intolerant to a lot of food, I have looked to your site so much for food ideas and knowledge; it has made me enthusiastic about nutrition and cooking! It's pretty difficult being a young person surrounded by friends and family who do not understand food issues, but with the knowledge that is out there on the internet, people like us can live fairly functionally in a society based around wheat.
I have been gluten free for a few years and yours is one of the blogs that helped me get started. This recipe looks not only yummy, but fun, too!

I love your blog and have become a more confident cook in part due to your recipes. Your ideas for substitutions and how to use what you have available fresh has made me more comfortable experimenting and overall enjoying the results! I also keep kosher and since most of your recipes are dairy-free, it is very easy for me to make things that I can have with a meat meal. Although not GF, your blog has been a great resource for me for healthy recipes. Thank you!
