I’ve been gluten-free for over a year and to be honest, last year I just didn’t make any Christmas cookies. I wasn’t sure how to bake while doing this gluten-free diet.
Jump to RecipeThis year, I’ve turned a new leaf. Between having a crazy wild ride with this pandemic and all the lock downs and quarantines, I decided this Christmas season needed to be filled with beautiful memories. My kids and I have been baking *almost* every single day this December. Today’s choice: Chewy Gluten-Free Gingerbread Cookies.
These are a little different from gingerbread men. First: they are rolled in a ball and then rolled into a big heap of sugar before we bake them. Second: they are chewy and not crisp.
I highly recommend Open Nature Gluten-Free all purpose flour. It’s perfect!
