Last week, in search of a delicious way to make gingerbread cookies sans wheat flour, these bad boys were inspired by a recipe from The Food Lovers’ Primal Palate.
They are DANGEROUS, let me warn you, and SO moist. Even freezing and serving them at a later date has no effect on the consistency and taste.
I do prefer freshly ground ginger for added zing that permeates the cookies; you can find it in the produce section at your local grocery store. And feel free to get creative with gingerbread man cookie cut-outs and whatnot, too. Enjoy!
