One of my favorite memories as a child was making Christmas cookies. We had this old cookie cutter shaped like a gingerbread man. Whenever I think of this season, I think of that gingerbread man and the smell and flavor he brings to mind. I hope you enjoy this gluten free version of gingersnap cookies.
