These gluten free gingerbread cookies surprised me at the first bite: you\u00a0absolutely have to try them!<\/i><\/p>\n

*Song playing in the\u00a0background right now*\u00a0Oh, the weather outside is frightful,\u00a0but the fire is so delightful, and since we've no place to go...let's bake more, let's bake more, let's bake more!\u00a0<\/strong><\/i>🎶 \u00a0<\/strong>That is a nice plan, uh?<\/p>\n

\"Easy

Make these gingerbread men with your kids or nephews: they're so cute and funny!<\/p><\/div>\n

I think that, if you read my latest post (here<\/strong><\/a>), you understood that I ADOOOORE this time of the year. I've always aaaalways loved it but the real \"turning point\" has been the birth of my first nephew (and the second, and the third). In fact, what I love most on Christmas day is watching my three nephews unwrap gifts: their eyes sparkle, the corner of their mouths suddenly lift in a huge smile when they see Santa brought their favorite toy. I sincerely\u00a0admire them for being so excited about everything that day. They believe in magic!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

To decorate: combine egg white, icing sugar and a drizzle of lemon juice!<\/p><\/div>\n

Ok, enough sweet words, let's move to these sweet easy gluten free gingerbread cookies!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Easy gingerbread recipe: but it's also gluten free...<\/h2>\n

These gingerbread men cookies are perfect as a Christmas gift!<\/p><\/div>\n

Oh man, or should I say \"Oh gingerbread man!\"<\/em><\/strong>...aren't they the cutest?! I know, I should improve my 'decoration skills'. But hey, let's admire my effort lol
\nI've only decorated cookies like...5 times in my life maybe? Let's appreciate them, they're perfectly imperfect! I'm more a \"substance above form\" kinda girl [even if I love pretty food. Ok, maybe 50\/50?]<\/p>\n

I'm sure you'll have so much fun decorating them!<\/p><\/div>\n

I've been making gingerbread cookies for the last 3 years during the holidays and I shared two recipes out of three on my ebooks (only in Italian for now). This time I wanted to make a gluten free version.
\nSince I do not suffer from celiac disease (luckily) I never buy gluten free mixes at the grocery store, 'cause I know I wouldn't use them. Consequently I never bake on purpose gluten free cakes\/cookies. Instead, it happens that I use naturally gluten free ingredients<\/strong> <\/span>and, believe me, the food turns out amazing. This is the case!
\nI wanted to use oats to make the gingerbread men more nutritious, so I simply ground oat flakes and added a bit of cornstarch as a binder (the egg does the work too). And tadaaaaa!
\nInstead of molasse, that I never find here, I've used agave syrup and some organic raw brown sugar that has that sweet caramelized flavor (I love it).
\nWhat about the spices?! \u00a0Well I didn't write the dose because you can add them to taste. If you love cinnamon, add more of it. If you love ginger, add more!<\/p>\n

\"This

Isn't this gingerbread man so cute?<\/p><\/div>\n

Turn on some Christmas songs and let yourself be inspired!<\/p>\n
