Foods These grain-free Reindeer Bombs are so amazing—crispy on the outside, with a soft, gooey, marshmallow-y center. You’ll want this cookie to be a part of your Christmas tradition every year!
Snowmen, Christmas trees, a roaring fire…reindeer…they all remind me of Christmas time. I wanted to come up with a Christmas cookie that was cute, clever, and good enough to be a tradition in our home every year.
Grain-Free Reindeer Bombs Cookies
I love holiday baking. It’s such a great nostalgic activity and it’s even more fun making the cookies with my kids. Add playing some Christmas music and a fire in the fireplace and you’ve got a delightful and cherished holiday family activity.
The kids love marshmallows (I mean, who doesn’t?) and I prefer to use homemade marshmallows over the chemical-loaded ones from the store. You can use either option, but if you want to make these Reindeer Bombs even more special, try using my Chocolate Marshmallows Recipe. Mmm…
We’re a grain-free family over here, so these Reindeer Bombs are grain-free by using almond flour. Besides the marshmallows (and homemade ones are less sugary than store-bought), the only sweetener is coconut sugar. Score!
