Pro Tips for Christmas Tree Chocolate Sandwich Cookies (Gluten-Free)

  • Use room temperature chocolate: This helps the chocolate dip smoothly and prevents cracking.

  • Control the piping: Cut a very small tip on your piping bag for precise tree shapes. Practice on parchment first if needed.
  • Add variety: Try different colored candy stars or sprinkle edible glitter for extra festive flair.
  • Avoid overheating chocolate: Microwave in short 20–30 second bursts and stir to prevent burning.
  • Store properly: Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Get kids involved: This recipe is perfect for little hands to help decorate, making it a fun holiday activity.
  • Gift ready: Place cookies in a clear treat bag or small holiday box and tie with a ribbon for a homemade gift.

Liz Satkowski Gluten Free Mom Colorado

I am married to the most amazing man, Tommy. I am the mother of three beautiful children Landon, Finn, and Daisy. For years I have been helping friends, family and others navigate the life of gluten-free living. I grew up in a gluten-free house, my mom and both brothers were diagnosed with Celiac Disease when I was young. My mom did an amazing job making everything from scratch in a gluten free kitchen. When I had my first child Landon my world was changed. He was born at 24 weeks because I have a short cervix. The doctor told us that he had a slim chance of survival and that his life would be plagued with severe complications. He survived and has minimal complications due to his prematurity, but when Landon was two he started getting rashes all over his body and he would constantly be sick. My mom advised me to get Landon tested for Celiac Disease. This was the beginning of my true GF journey. Shortly after he was diagnosed, I decided to go off gluten as well. Although I do not have Celiac Disease, I have found that I feel 100% better eliminating gluten from my diet. Recently Finn was having some issues with his legs and knees hurting. The doctor told me to take Finn off gluten to see if it was causing the inflammation and pain. Sure enough once we changed his diet the symptoms went away. We have Celiac Disease and gluten intolerance on both sides of the family. My sister-in-law and niece were recently diagnosed and my Grandma recently took gluten out of her diet due to an autoimmune disease. We are in a fortunate position that both of our families understand the purpose of living a gluten-free lifestyle. I am on a mission to help people create amazing gluten-free recipes and to see that this diagnosis is not a curse, but can actually be delicious.
