Soft and Chewy Gluten-Free Vegan Gingersnaps
When I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and had to start eating gluten free, one of the foods I missed the most (after bread) was good cookies. Now I’ve amassed quite a few gluten free cookie recipes and don’t feel deprived. I probably make my Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies the most, followed by the Adventure Cookies by Oh She Glows. Still, I wanted a really delicious holiday cookie and I was feeling nostalgic about making gingersnaps with my mom as a kid. I always liked the part where I got to squish the ball of cookie dough with the bottom of a glass.
This recipe took me quite a few tries–about six–to get right, but I think I now have the perfect blend of spices. It really tastes like the gingersnaps I had as a kid. Enjoy!
