    I have a confession: I've never participated in a Christmas Cookie Exchange. (I've been to one cookie baking party, but I'm not sure if that counts or not.)

    Growing up, I'd hear all about them... but for whatever reason, my family never participated.

    SO, I thought you could help me remedy the situation. After all, we're all friends here! And I even did the hard part. I found 50+ paleo cookie recipes we can all share.

    Huge shoutout to all the amazing paleo and gluten free bloggers out there, am I right? I hope you find some new holiday (or any day of the year) favorites here to share with everyone you love.

    And if you don't want the fun to stop here, check out my Pinterest board devoted to Paleo Cookie Recipes! I'm always updating it with new recipes I find from other bloggers!
