Christmas Crumbl Cookies Gluten Free
There is nothing quite like a thick and chewy Christmas Crumbl cookie gluten free! Just because I have been gluten free for 18 years, doesn't mean I, or you, need to miss out on an American cookie classic that everyone loves. Loaded with festive sprinkles and topped with creamy frosting, these cookies are perfect with a cold glass of milk. Even Santa would approve!

Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups butter softened
- 1 ½ cups sugar

Frosting

- Scoop out 3-4 tablespoon portions of dough and roll into a ball
- Place two inches apart on the baking sheet and flatten the tops with a cup
- Bake at 350 degrees for 11-13 minutes or until the edges are set and centers soft

- While all the cookies are cooling, whip together butter, powdered sugar and extracts to make a delicious frosting

Notes
Top tip: Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to get all of the frosting. Trust me, you'll want every last taste
How to store leftovers
Allow the cookies to reach room temperature before storing the leftover cookies. Place them in an airtight container with parchment paper between each layer of cookies so they don't stick together. They can sit on the counter for 3-4 days.Can you freeze them?
Absolutely! Allow the cookies to cool to room temperature first. Then, put them in a freezer-safe bag. You can freeze them with the frosting on, but I usually like to have fresh frosting. It doesn't take long at all to make the frosting for this recipe. They will last 3-6 months in the freezer.Nutrition
