Notes
Transforming this festive favorite into a gluten-free delight is a breeze and just as delicious! Swap the all-purpose flour with your preferred gluten-free flour blend – one that mimics traditional flour's properties. Look for a blend that's a 1:1 substitute to ensure your cookies maintain their delightful texture and shape. Remember, each gluten-free flour has its unique character; some may require a bit more moisture, so don't hesitate to add a touch more cream cheese if your dough feels a bit crumbly.
