Christmas is just around the corner so I wanted to share these gluten free sugar free ginger cookies with you. These ginger cookies along with my Christmas cookies are perfect for sharing with company or giving as a gift to friends and family.
My daughter Josha loves ginger snap cookies, especially her Aunt Angela’s recipe. For several years now I have tried to make ginger snap cookies that are gluten and sugar free but have not had any success.
Sorry Josha!
Recently I tried again and came up with these delicious gluten free sugar free ginger cookies. I added my sisters secret ingredient, cayenne pepper, which gives these cookies a little kick. Josha is still holding out for the ginger snap cookies that taste just like her aunt’s but otherwise they were a huge success over Thanksgiving.
