Christmas in my favorite time of the year, hands down! The feeling in the air, the trees, the lights and the baking are just a few of the many things that speak to my heart and soul. So as per Christmas tradition, I’m kicking off my season with cookies! And I can’t think of a better recipe to bake and create than these Gluten Free M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies.
As many of you would know, when some of your favorite snacks are now off limits, you celebrate the ones that are on the safe list. For a long while I thought M&M’s were something that I couldn’t have, but when I discovered they were okay, I started finding lots of ways to use them. But this version so far is my favorite!

The first batch of cookies, we used regular M&M’s, but as the Christmas Season grew near, this Holiday version seemed like a good way to bake our way onto Santa’s Nice list! With the traditional read and green for Christmas, these cookies are a great treat for the Holidays and I’m sure Santa will be happy for the Festive treat!
A delicious cookie in itself, even if you don’t have M&M’s you can simply replace it with regular chocolate chips and you’ve got yourself a winner!

We usually place 6 cookies per sheet. at this stage you can press some more M&M's and chocoalte chips onto the top of the cookies before baking so that they are visble after baking.
- Bake cookies for 20 - 25 minutes tunring half way through, until the edges are slightly golden and the cookies are cooked. The bakign time will also depend on how big your cookies are.
