Cookies are my friend. They make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Especially when they are holiday cookies, filled with cinnamon and spice. Warm out of the oven. Crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Everything is right in the world when you have a plate of freshly baked cookies.
I’ve tried many recipes to get these little gluten-free gingersnap cookies just right. Baking without gluten, dairy and eggs is a pain in my butt.

Say “happy holidays!” with this spicy and sweet treat!
