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
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
Serving Tip:
How about serving these gingerbread cookies with a smear of butter and some crumbled blue cheese. It may sound like an odd combination, but it makes for a delicious treat and a sophisticated flavour combination for a holiday hors d’oeuvre...
Of course you may just choose to cut them into rounds, or Christmas shape, the choice is always yours dear reader.

...cute little guys.
The blue cheese sounds good
That sounds interesting - what is the cheese for?
Is it very sweet or rather a tad hearty, which I´d prefer?
This is really interesting. I just picked up some coconut flour because I heard it was healthier to use. Hugs and Happy Saturday! RO
This is a great recipe. Hugs, Valerie
oh how yummy!!!
Hello, they are cute cookies. Thanks for the recipe.
Happy weekend to you!
Gingerbread cookies are delicious! This reminds me that I haven't made any for a very long time. Must get to it!
I'm rather partial to a gingerbread man.

Hello Iris,
These biscuits can be used as a treat or as a snack with cheese and a tangy tasting blue cheese compliments well ...
All the best Jan
Blue cheese would go really well. Cut the sweetness and add a lift. Thanks for the tip.
My son loves gingerbreak cookies, thanks for sharing this recipe.
They are so cute!!!!
Hi Jan :)
I think I'll be making gingerbread cookies this year, so this recipe was very timely.
Loved the breakdown of Christmas traditions :)

I'm considering making gingerbread or a ginger cake over the next few days...hmmm....
They look yummy, thanks for the recipe! I used to eat the heads first so they wouldn't feel any pain when I ate the rest of them...
