Gluten-free Red Velvet Sugar Cookie Bars
I’ve said it time and time again, but Red Velvet is one of the most iconic and loved dessert flavors to ever exist. It’s bright red color and slight hints of cocoa make it hard to say “no”. I’ve never met a red velvet dessert I didn’t like…you can’t really mess it up! Since it' has such a subtle cocoa flavor that makes it easily distinguishable from straight chocolate or vanilla, it’s the perfect in-between flavor for something if you’re unsure what someone likes!
To me, red velvet desserts are a staple for Valentine’s Day. Not only does the striking red color make it perfectly suited for the holiday, but the lightly sweet flavor that it houses; it’s not going to be overwhelming in addition to all of the chocolates you’ll eat that day…it will be a perfect pair ♥️
Gluten-Free Small-Batch Red Velvet Sheet Cake w/ Fluffy Cream Cheese Icing
There’s something inherently magical about a red velvet cake. The way its velvety crumb melts in your mouth, the rich, slightly tangy flavor that dances on your taste buds, and the contrast between the deep red color and the luscious white cream cheese frosting—it’s a dessert that never fails to leave an impression. But what makes this small-batch red velvet sheet cake with fluffy cream cheese icing better than any other? It's all about the perfect balance of flavor, texture, and visual appeal that will make anyone who tastes it go back for seconds.
At the heart of this cake is a beautiful marriage of flavors—subtle cocoa, sweetness, and a tangy edge from the cream cheese frosting. Red velvet cake has a unique flavor profile that's difficult to describe but impossible to forget. The cocoa powder brings a deep, chocolatey richness without overwhelming the cake’s other flavors, while the slight tang from the sour milk and vinegar cuts through the sweetness, creating a balance that’s both indulgent and refreshing.
Gluten-Free Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
These gluten-free oatmeal raisin cookies are just like my grandma used to make. They are soft, chewy, and loaded with delicious, sweet raisins. A mix of butter and cream cheese give these cookies a special flavor and texture that you and others will love!
There are just some classics that aren’t allowed to be messed with; oatmeal raisin cookies being one of them. They’re just so delicious and hard to resist in my opinion! The chewiness of the oatmeal, the warmth of the cinnamon, and the slight freshness from the raisins make up the perfect bite.
Gluten-free Peanut Butter Easter Eggs
For these Peanut Butter Easter Eggs, I decided that I would make it a mission for myself to make them as similar as I could to a Reese's Egg because they aren't gluten-free. I wanted to eliminate some of the sugar that is usually in traditional eggs because they are sometimes way too sweet. So, I added a tiny bit of salt and butter and cut the powdered sugar down by a ton. You can dip them in chocolate the traditional way, but I got a silicone egg mold from Amazon to make them look a little bit fancier!
Gluten-free Walnut Buttercream Thumbprints
These Gluten-Free Walnut Buttercream Thumbprints are the most requested cookie in our house all year long, not just Christmas time. The cookie base is not too sweet, so the addition of the walnuts that toast while they bake and the smooth vanilla buttercream balance everything out so nicely. Not only do these elements give these cookies an outstanding flavor, but a wonderful texture as well.
There really is nothing more Christmas-y than toasted nuts and sweet cookies. These cookies give you the best of both worlds all in one bite. I have no doubt that people will be asking you for the recipe once they try one of these beautiful creations; I know because it happens every year to me! The second best part about these cookies is that they’re extremely simple to make and only require a few ingredients that you have around the house. Simple and tasty - there’s nothing better.
Gluten-free Hot Cocoa Cookie Cups
These Gluten-Free Hot Cocoa Cookie Cups are the best, simplest, and most delicious holiday treat you can make. Since the base is a simple chocolate chip cookie dough, it’s great to make with the kiddos! The filling only has 3 ingredients too, so it whips up in no time - perfect for those busy December days. If you have kids, they may want to leave a few out for ol’ Saint Nick on Christmas Eve! 🎅🏼☕️
These cookie cups are great to bring to any holiday gathering because they are so dang simple!!! All of your friends will be swooning over these little babies because of how adorable and tasty they are. There’s really nothing better than a hot cocoa on a cold winter day, so these are the perfect addition to your holiday dessert table. So, put this recipe on your “To Do” list this holiday season!
Gluten-free Chocolate Hermits
These cookies are a Christmas staple in our house. We always have to make a double or even a triple batch just so we don’t run out by the time the holiday finally comes around! Now, these cookies may look super rich, but they’re surprisingly light and feel like a brownie in your mouth. The chocolate chips scattered in the dough give a light crunch to contract against the smooth icing on top. The chocolate sprinkles are optional, but they add another nice texture.
Some advice: I would definitely make a double batch like we do because these cookies disappear very quickly. First, you’ll try one, and sneak another, and then decide that since you’ve already had two, why not have a third? These Gluten-Free Chocolate Hermits are so addictive, you’ll never get enough of them!
Strawberry Dessert Topping
It's officially strawberry season!!!! Well, it's June 23rd as I'm writing this, so it might not be strawberry season anymore when you're reading it. 😂🍓 If you want a scrumptious, sweet, and homemade strawberry topping then you've come to the right place. There is nothing like a fruit topping made from fresh fruit of the season. Added bonus if you get to actually pick them yourself! Every summer my daughters and I go picking strawberries at our local berry farm and come home with tons of fruit. This year was no different; we came home with 2 huge buckets of strawberries...I believe it ended up being just about 10 pounds 😳.
This strawberry topping was on the top of my list to make. It's super quick and easy and soooo good. Nothing you buy from the grocery store can come close to the fresh taste of this topping. Just wash your berries, slice them up, throw them in a pot, do a little magic, and BAM! You have the perfect strawberry dessert topping.
Gluten-free Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes
Summer is finally here! That means it's time for fresh, sweet, summer fruits. Strawberries are the tell-all signal that summer is officially upon us. We can't wait to go to our local berry farm and pick our own berries in this house! I know you can get them at the grocery store, but those really can't compare to fresh ones. They're so much sweeter and juicier, it's unbelievable. Pure perfection.
These Gluten-free Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes are the perfect dessert to utilize your fresh-picked berries. The vanilla cupcake is butter based, but there is also sour cream added in to pump up the moisture. I made these in a jumbo muffin pan so they would be the perfect size to make single serve shortcakes. Just slice them in half and add the strawberry topping and whipped cream -- super easy! The cake holds up beautifully to the strawberry topping and whipped cream. I even left a fully assembled shortcake in the refrigerator overnight and it was still perfect the next day. I'm sure these strawberry shortcake cupcakes will become a summer favorite for you, just like they are at my house.
Gluten-free Gingerbread Cupcakes
It's holiday baking time and you need to get those Christmas treats ready! So, why not have some classic gingerbread this year? Better yet, how about all of those delicious flavors packed into a cupcake? These cupcakes are made with butter, molasses, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. They're a wonderful combination of everything Christmas. We topped these spicy cupcakes with our sweet vanilla buttercream, but added just a touch of lemon flavor.
You could top these cupcakes with chopped walnuts for some crunch, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a mini gingerbread cookie just like we did. They're delicious no matter what way you choose to serve them. Treat your guests to something special this Christmas and make these gingerbread cupcakes!
Luscious Gluten-free Lemon Bars
There is something magical about a really good lemon dessert. That bright, sunny flavor somehow manages to taste like spring, summer, and happiness all at the same time. And these gluten-free lemon bars? They are hands-down one of my favorite treats to make when I want something simple, impressive, and dangerously easy to keep eating.
Seriously. If you've ever thought, "I'll just have one little square," prepare yourself. These Luscious Gluten-Free Lemon Bars have a sneaky way of disappearing before you even realize what's happening. 🍋🍋🍋
Gluten-free Lemon Shortbread Cookie Sandwiches
Shortbread cookies have been a favorite in my family for many years. We are also big fans of lemon. So, why not combine the two and create a delicious, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth shortbread cookie and add a bright, creamy, lemon filling. A perfect combo! These cookies are a little more effort than other cookies, but trust me, they are worth the effort. The cookie dough is only 7 ingredients and mixes up super quick and easy. They're so perfect for the summer, or any season really! Do yourself a favor and give these sweet treats a try. I bet they'll become one of your favorite desserts!
