Gluten-free Vegan Gingerbread Cookie

When I think of the Christmas holidays, I always think of gingerbread. Why do we think of ginger and spice? These dried ingredients like cinnamon and ginger do keep very well. Ginger is fantastic to hide other ingredients. In the olden days, to make gingerbread you would need potash to help it rise. Unfortunately, potash has an unpleasant taste. Ginger helps to cover the taste. Those who travel regularly the spices used to remind them of home. Therefore, every holiday we bake treats pass down to remember the good times. And, this helps to preserve the tradition. Why not gluten-free vegan gingerbread cookie.

Holiday Treat

I have never given my children gingerbread cookies. They always had shortbread or sugar cookies. This year, their school gave them gingerbread cookies as gifts. The first things my kids ate were the icing and sprinkles. Of course, they ate the buttons which are smarties next. Then, the gingerbread cookies. I wanted to try making a gluten-free vegan gingerbread cookie.

Cookies

My daughter really likes gingerbread cookies. These cookies are healthy made from buckwheat and gluten-free oat flour. Buckwheat flour provides energy. These four have protein and fiber. Oat flour helps to lower cholesterol. Surprisingly, my daughter is not fond of spicy food. These treats had a slight ginger flavor at the end. And, they were filling treats. Do try these Gluten-free vegan gingerbread cookies.
