Gluten Free Sugar Cookies with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

Every once in awhile I like to pop in with a new allergy-friendly recipe! I shared this recipe last month on The Idea Room and thought I’d share it here too.

For those of you who are new around here,  about 6 years ago I found out I was intolerant to eggs, gluten and soy and I have really enjoyed creating delicious recipes that I can indulge in. I know so many of you are also trying to find recipes that work for your dietary needs so I thought I’d share a new favorite recipe today.

I love mixing chocolate and fruit and the strawberries are the perfect balance with the rich frosting. Perfect for summer!

I will also note that the actual cookie is also dairy free, just the frosting has a little dairy in it!
