Whether you've just gotten a celiac diagnosis, have a friend who's gluten free or are just craving some of the best gluten free cookies you can buy, we all need some yummy gluten free cookies now and then. So I thought I'd share some of my absolute favorite gluten free cookies on the market. 

And don't worry - these gluten free cookies also included vegan cookies, paleo cookies - even keto and sugar free cookies! So no matter what you're dietary needs, you can be sure to enjoy your gluten free cookie fix with help from these 13 gluten free and allergy friendly cookies!

A Celiac's Fave Gluten Free Cookies, #1: Partake Foods

I'm gonna say it...Partake Foods has one of the BEST gluten free cookies I've ever tasted - especially in the Birthday Cake flavor. They're crunchy, loaded with sprinkles and sweet without being overly sugary. The Triple Chocolate is my second favorite flavor and I LOVE how big the chocolate chunks are throughout each cookie.

Partake Foods have soft baked and crunchy cookie options, so whatever your texture preferences, you've got a winner. Their cookies are certified gluten free, vegan and free of the top eight allergens. Their flour mix does contain gluten free oats, so I can't enjoy these gluten free cookies all the time...but boy, are they tasty when I do!

A Celiac's Fave Gluten Free Cookies, #2: Nana's Cookie Company

Have you ever had a lemon and blueberry gluten free cookie? I hadn't before I tried Nana's Cookie Company (who kindly mailed me some samples to try) and WOW - I was blown away! These cookies are THIC, sweet, crunchy on the edges but slightly soft in the middle, and extremely addictive. While Lemon Blueberry turned out to be my surprise favorite flavor, I loved every flavor I tried. 

Not only are the treats from Nana's Cookie Company certified gluten free, but they're also vegan and free of many food allergies, like soy, corn and casein. And if you're looking for keto cookies, Nana's Cookie Company also has a keto cookie line!

A Celiac's Fave Gluten Free Cookies, #3: Tate's Bake Shop

If you love thin and crispy cookies, Tate's Bake Shop is your dream come true. Their gluten free chocolate chip cookies have the perfect crispy edges and chewy center, and no one would seriously guess they're gluten free. I also recently tried their gluten free Ginger Zinger Cookies, and OMG. The chunks of chewy ginger make that flavor equally irresistable. 

A Celiac's Fave Gluten Free Cookies, #4: Lillabee Snacks

What happens when a gluten free brownie and a gluten free cookie have a baby?!? The deliciousness known as Lillabee Snacks' Brownie Thins is created! Their Brownie Thins are super chocolatey, delightfully crunchy and come in yummy flavors like Classic Chocolate, Mint Chocolate and Salted Caramel. I haven't tried their Blondie Thins yet, but you can bet I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for them! 

Besides being gluten free, Lillabee Snacks' cookies are paleo, low carb, high protein, and free of dairy and soy. Paleo cookies that taste insanely delish?!? I'm all in!

A Celiac's Fave Gluten Free Cookies, #5: Tidbits Fun Bites

Craving a gluten free cookie that's yummy AND made of all natural ingredients, sugar free, lactose free, soy free...and only 2 ingredients per piece? Tidbits Fun Bites fit the bill. They were recently kind enough to send me a ton of their gluten free cookies for me to sample, and I was amazed at how many flavors these little meringue cookies come in!

So far, their regular Vanila flavor is my favorite, but Tidbits Fun Bites also has a keto line and a diabetic line. These definitely aren't your traditional cookies, but if you love a light, crunchy and airy dessert, these are a delicious option.

A Celiac's Fave Gluten Free Cookies, #6: Glutino

Now you may be wondering where Oreos are on this list of gluten free cookies. Personally, I haven't tried them - and honestly I don't plan to, since Glutino's Chocolate Vanilla Creme Cookies have always had my back. I love how crispy the outside cookies are, and there's always the perfect ratio of cookie to icing filling. 

Unlike Oreos, Glutino's gluten free cookies don't contain oats. Plus, they're certified gluten free!

A Celiac's Fave Gluten Free Cookies, #7: Cybele's Free to Eat

These certified gluten free cookies are vegan, free from the top 8 allergens, and free from artificial preservatives, color, flavors and GMOs. And equally important...they're AMAZINGLY tasty! I was blown away from first bite when I tried their Chocolate Chunk Brownie cookie. It is SO rich, chocolatey and fudgy. Serve these out of the box, and no one would assume they're gluten free and vegan.

A Celiac's Fave Gluten Free Cookies, #8: Goodie Girl Cookies

If Thin Mints used to be your favorite Girlscout cookie, you'll love the gluten free Mint cookies from Goodie Girl Cookies. I was also a huge fan of their Birthday Cake cookies, and they recently released some S'mores cookies that sound unbelievably delicious. 

Goodie Girl Cookies do contain Purity Protocol oats, but they're certified gluten free and peanut free. 

A Celiac's Fave Gluten Free Cookies, #9: HighKey

Need some low carb cookies or cookies lower in sugar? HighKey's mini cookies are keto friendly, gluten free and grain free...and how can you say no to something mini and cute?! I loved how crunchy and crumbly these cookies were, and there was my kind of lots-of-chocolate-to-cookie ratio. 

A Celiac's Fave Gluten Free Cookies, #10: Munk Pack

Besides making low and keto protein bars, Munk Pack also has gluten free protein cookies. I loved that these cookies were SUPER thick, soft and chewy in texture. My absolute favorite is the Coconut White Chip Macadamia - the chocolate chunks are big and plentiful, and I loved the crunch of the nuts.

Along with being certified gluten free, these protein cookies are vegan, soy free and packed with 16 grams of protein.

A Celiac's Fave Gluten Free Cookies, #11: Soozy's Grain Free

I may not eat grain free all the time, but I would eat these grain free cookies from Soozy's all day, any day! They come in Birthday Cake, Chocolate Chip and N'Oatmeal Raisin - and yes, that's spelled right. Their "oatmeal" cookies actually are oat free, which is perfect for people who can't tolerate oats. I also love that their cookies come in 2-packs for easy handling on the go or portion control.

Now for the ingredient deets...these cookies are certified gluten free, grain free, plant-based and egg free. 

A Celiac's Fave Gluten Free Cookies, #12: WOW Baking

WOW's gluten free cookies were some of the very first gluten free cookies I ever tried, so they hold an extra special place in my heart (and stomach). Their cookies are dense, soft and chewy and come in a bunch of yummy flavors, like classic Chocolate Chip, Lemon Burst, Key Lime White Chocolate and more. 

You can get their cookies individually batched, or in a shelf-stable pouch. Note that while these cookies are certified gluten free, they do contain dairy and eggs!

A Celiac's Fave Gluten Free Cookies, #13: Enjoy Life Foods

If you're gluten free or have food allergies and you haven't heard of Enjoy Life Foods...dang you are missing out! Not only are their products certified gluten free, but they're also free of the top 14 allergens. They have soft baked and crunchy cookies, and I've never tried a cookie - or any product! - from Enjoy Life Foods that I haven't loved.
