The grandchildren quite enjoy gingerbread cookies/biscuits, and for some reason decide whether to take a bite of an arm or leg first ...poor gingerbread person! I can also remember doing that - can you?

With this low carb recipe suggestion you may choose to make a gingerbread cookie/biscuit but it works equally well cutting out a round shape, or you could get adventurous and cut out a Christmas tree shape.

Ingredients:
10 servings
1g carb per serving
3 oz. (75g) butter at room temperature
1 tablespoon cream cheese
6 tablespoons coconut flour*
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
