Christmas is my favorite time of the year and one of the best parts is the baking. I just love baking tasty treats for family and friends, especially Christmas cookies.
But this is my first year on the Paleo diet so that changes things just a little. I was afraid I’d have to give up my Christmas cookie baking this year and I was so happy to discover that I don’t! There are tons of amazing Paleo Christmas cookie recipes out there. Like hundreds. They’re delicious, healthier versions of classics, like Gingersnaps, Spritz, Snickerdoodles, even Cut-out Cookies and Paleo Buckeyes!
And while I’ve only tried a handful so far, the ones I have tried taste incredible. They don’t taste like diet food. They taste like real delicious food (which is exactly what Paleo is anyways.)
Here’s just a few of my favorite Paleo Christmas cookies and bars:

I am trying really hard to get my husband to join me on my Paleo and Keto journey but haven’t had too much success. This might just be my ticket. Even though it isn’t Christmas I am still going to try some of these recipes out for Valentines Day! Thank you and wish me luck!
