    Move over pumpkin eating season bring on the gingerbread!  Since cutting wheat out of my diet recently, I decided to make these little gluten free gingerbread cookies.  The are super simple and super yummy.

    I like to use almond flour a lot now with baking.  It makes things really moist and delicious with a little added protein too.

    They are so quick to mix up and bake.  And just as quick to devour too if you’re not careful!  I’m really not sure how they made it to photograph!  Which speaking of taking pictures, my 12 year old daughter wanted to take the pictures of these cookies today.   I think she did a fabulous job!

      My cookies do not look at all like the picture. They spread considerably, are very flat and leave an oily slick on my fingers. Maybe there should be some flour or an egg added. Tastes like spicey almonds which is nice.

      These look yummy but I’ve got no molasses. Could yacon syrup be substituted?

        Although I haven’t tried yacon syrup with this recipe, I would think it would work. If you do try it, be sure to let us know how they turn out.

      Hi I’m just visiting from the ‘Bust Monday’Link Party. The Gingerbread cookies look delicious! I’m just wondering if they taste anything like the ginger snap biscuits that you find in the UK (I live in the Netherlands and we can’t get them here). I guess there is only one way to find out ….
