I am so excited that it is December! I truly believe it is… the most wonderful time of the year! I try to enjoy each and every single day because the holiday season is always over far too quickly. I just set up my Christmas tree and I am almost finished with my holiday decor. Next on the list is deciding what holiday goodies I will be making this year. Last year was the first year I actually tried some recipes that hopefully would be reminiscent of my past Christmases. I found a few amazing ones and this year I am also going to try some new ones.
I scoured the internet and found all of the recipes I will be using this year, both old and new. For any newbies out there, I thought you might find this post helpful. I know on my first AIP Christmas I only tried one coconut cookie recipe and while they were good, they didn’t remind me of Christmas. So here is a list of my favourite AIP holiday baking recipes that will help it feel like Christmas! My advice on AIP treats is moderation. You can totally have a cookie when you want one, just don’t eat six all on the same day 😉
I have put these recipes in order from easiest to most difficult in my opinion. That way if you aren’t much of a baker you can stick with the top few recipes and know that they will turn out even if your baking skills are a little rusty.

PS- Check the ingredient list right away so you can order any ingredients you are missing. I just placed an order with iherb.ca and well.ca which is where I order most of my baking ingredients from.
This is the perfect list!! I’m planning to cook up holiday cookies & treats this weekend, and look forward to trying some of this goodness!
And thank you so much for including my donut hole recipe! They totally remind me of holiday snickerdoodle cookies 😉
Wishing you a warm & cozy winter season!
Hey Andrea,
Thanks so much for stopping by! I’d love to hear what you ended up making. I just finished my long list of goodies and everything is heading to the freezer until closer to Christmas. I love the donut holes my mom especially loves them she says they remind her of maple walnut.
Happy holidays! xo
