Gingerbread Doodle Cookies (Grain-Free & Dairy-Free)
I have been planning to make these cookies for a long time now. Growing up, Gingerbread cookies was always my favorite because it was traditional to only have it during the holidays.
I was inspired to create this recipe because my husband mentioned to me when he was growing up, he didn’t necessarily have holiday themed food during the holidays. I said “what? Oh that just wont do.” While my husband isn’t on a weight loss journey, I did want to create a recipe that would benefit us of both greatly when it comes to it being nutritionally balanced.
Holiday themed food, specifically desserts have always been high in sugar which leads to most of having that “holiday weight gain”. I want to change the narrative with these classic & yearly loved favorites with a twist.
The whole family will love these, including the family members that just want to enjoy yummy desserts & not whether it’s “healthy” or not.
I know you will enjoy this one so I would love to hear your thoughts down below.

Stay blessed & Happy Holidays.

Saphia’s Tips
If the dough is too sticky then add a tsp of coconut flour until you get the consistency that is easy to manipulate with your hands.
