With the holidays quickly approaching, I thought doing a cookie round-up would be a fun idea. Who doesn’t love a good cookie?
My favorite cookie growing up was my mom’s “Christmas Crescent Cookies” a/k/a Italian Wedding Cookies. She made the little beauties using real butter and ground walnuts (not almonds as most recipes I’ve found) and they were heavenly – not too sweet, delicate, melt-in-your mouth. My mom is a great cook, but hardly ever did any baking, so I looked forward to these little darlings each year. She would store them in cookie tins and I might or might not have snuck into the tins when no one was looking.
The autoimmune protocol (AIP) shouldn’t make you feel deprived at the holidays, so indulge and enjoy yourself – but don’t overdo it! Too many sweets, even of the natural variety, can trigger an autoimmune flare. So use caution and listen to your body.
If baking cookies from scratch isn’t your thing, or you’d like the convenience of having AIP-compliant cookie dough on hand that can be baked off easily, Paleo on the Go has come up with two great flavors – Sugar Cookie and Gingerbread! Both varieties even come with AIP icing so you can decorate them after baking.
