Gluten Free Chocolate Spritz

Sharing is caring!

What is your absolute, hands down favorite Christmas cookie of all time? For me, there’s no question about it. I LOVE a good spritz. They’re so buttery and I think they’re the perfect level of sweetness. And this time, I added chocolate. There’s no better cookie on the planet better than these gluten free chocolate spritz. There, I said it. And I’m sticking to it! 

Gluten Free Chocolate Spritz Cookies

Last year, my family went to Germany for the Christmas markets. We stayed in Cologne most of the time and the Lindt Chocolate Museum is there! Didn’t even know that before we got there. We were scheduled to take the train down to Switzerland and visit the chocolate factory there but our flights home out of Switzerland got cancelled so we stayed in Germany to make sure we got out on time. But that was ok because I still got my fill of chocolate! And I brought home plenty of baking supplies too, including a couple of tins of the most decadent dark cocoa powder ever created. It’s amazing. And I still had enough of it to create this recipe. 😁

Now, I’m not saying you have to use European dark chocolate to make this recipe. You don’t. Any cocoa powder will do. You don’t even need to put chocolate in these! They’re delicious without it.  But chocolate definitely makes them better. Try them. You won’t regret it. Even your non-gluten free friends are gonna love them. I’m sure of it!
