Make up a batch of these delicious gingerbread cookies and get the children involved decorating. Soft and chewy on the inside and perfectly spiced. I like using sorghum flour or almond flour in these recipes but you could use plain gluten free flour as well.

What’s Good About It?
With a lower sugar content than most other gingerbread recipes these are the perfect festive treat. Using almonds also adds plenty of fibre, protein and healthy fats to these cookies.
- Preheat the oven to 180C, gas mark 4. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
- Place the almond flour and ground almonds in the food processor with the rest of the dry ingredients and mix briefly.
- Add the dairy free spread with the rest of the wet ingredients and process to form a dough.
- Wrap the dough in cling film and chill for 20-30 minutes.
- Roll the dough between two sheets of greaseproof paper or cling film. Use cutters to stamp out cookies. Place on a lined baking tray and bake until golden – about 10 minutes
- Cool completely. Ice the biscuits if wished.
