This grain free, refined sugar free gingerbread cookie recipe not only makes delicious cookies- it’s perfect for making gingerbread houses! (Paleo, gluten free, dairy free).
It’s been a (not quite) festive week around here. I headed down south a few states this week to visit family and let’s just say it’s a bit warmer than the icicles hanging off the roof at home. 🙂 Palm trees, sunshine, long sunny walks, and of course… Christmas cookies- because it is December after all (how the heck did that happen already!??).
Okay, now that we are knee deep in the subject, I think it would be the perfect time to ask YOU what your favorite holiday traditions consist of? I would love to hear!!
Gingerbread cookies!!
Cookies. Sweet, spiced up, cute fashionable gingerbread men, pretty sparkling snowflakes, and Christmas stockings. This year we are doing Christmas cookies up paleo style! I hope you love these super easy to make holiday cookies- I made them in the food processor! My family and I had a blast baking cookies while the hallmark Christmas channel streamed in the background. Yes, that’s what you get when all the guys go out to walk the dogs and all the girls are left to decorate!
I have to tell you, this recipe would be perfect for gingerbread houses! If any of you make them, let me know, because I can’t wait to see your creations! I have long been obsessed with gingerbread houses, ever since my Grandparents took me on the annual tour of the gingerbread house competition- and let me tell you, those gingerbread house skyscrapers, cottages, and Victorian mansions were pretty rad to admire when you’re a six year old girl in love with doll houses.
So, whether you decide to make Christmas cookies or a sugar coated house for little gingerbread minis to dwell, I hope you and your loved ones enjoy these sweet treats and have a wonderful Christmas season! Blessings all,
