]]>Our Chestnut Flour Sugar Cookies are easy to make, exceptionally delicious and perfect for holiday parties. They’re exactly what you’d expect from a classic sugar cookie, but with a toasty, nutty finish.
If you’ve never baked with Chestnut Flour before, now’s the perfect time of year to start. This naturally gluten-free flour is lightly sweet and will yield a denser cookie than a traditional sugar cookie recipe. Chestnut Flour works best when mixed with other flours, so we combined it with all-purpose flour to achieve a soft, yet sturdy-enough to frost consistency.
These nutty morsels hold their shape as they bake (no puffing or spreading!), so feel free to use a variety of quirky and classic cookie cutters to amp up the fun.
Bring them to life with eye-catching frosting and sanding sugar. They’re equally delicious left plain, so no matter how you decide to enjoy them, be prepared to get your hand caught in the cookie jar!

Today we’re celebrating Chocolate Chip Cookie Day! Just thinking about the smell of chocolate chip cookies takes us back to our grandmother’s house. Reminisce with us as you bake up a batch of your own, from one of these five chocolate chip cookie recipes!
1. Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie
This classic chocolate chip recipe from Martha Stewart calls for all of the traditional ingredients, including semi-sweet chocolate chips. The recipe also adds dark brown sugar into the mix, which gives the cookie a richer aroma and a unique depth of flavor.
2. Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie
This Food Network recipe for gluten-free chocolate chip cookies uses tapioca flour and brown rice flour instead of regular flour. The recipe also includes xanthan gum, which adds thickness and volume to gluten-free baked goods.
3. Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie
Taste of Home magazine’s oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe includes quick-cooking oats and your choice of chopped nuts. Nuts.com offers a variety of chopped nuts, such as peanuts, walnuts, and almonds.
4. White Chocolate Cranberry Cookie
This recipe comes from Trisha Yearwood’s own cookbook! It combines white chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and chopped macadamia nuts to make a rich and tangy cookie.
5. Butterscotch Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookie
This blogger’s recipe is a twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie. It adds chopped pretzels and butterscotch chips to give this cookie a little extra sweet and salty kick!

Eating a gluten-free diet doesn’t mean you have to give up your favorite foods. You can still eat scrumptious pizza, bread, even cookies, cakes and other desserts, prepared with a variety of gluten-free flours. Whether you are eliminating gluten from your diet because of an allergy or a new healthy eating plan, or you are simply trying to cut back your flour intake, you will enjoy these finger-licking-good recipes.
Gluten-Free Flour to the Rescue
1. Wheat Belly Pizza Crust
Rejoice, you no longer have to watch enviously as your friends dig into piping-hot, cheesy pizza! This pizza crust recipe, from Dr. William Davis’ popular book Wheat Belly, is wheat-free and has a hearty texture from chickpea flour, ground almonds and ground golden flaxseed meal. Add your favorite vegetables, sauce and cheese for a meal that everyone will love.
2. Paleo Bread
Sandwiches, toast, bruschetta… no more giving up your favorite bread-based treats. This gluten-free bread recipe is high in protein and has a subtle sweet, nutty flavor from its natural ingredients. The bread contains delicate almond flour, light, fluffy coconut flour, ground golden flaxseed meal, coconut oil and honey.
3. Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Nothing beats a sweet, chewy homemade chocolate chip cookie fresh out of the oven. Alton Brown’s gluten-free chocolate chip recipe is a huge hit, passing taste tests as “the real thing.” The cookies use brown rice flour, corn starch, tapioca flour, xantham gum and, of course, loads of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
