Gluten and Dairy Free Gingerbread Sugar Cookies

November 6, 2018 Uncategorized

These gluten and dairy free gingerbread cookies are the most delicious you will ever taste!

Hello again all! I took a little mini break here in-between Halloween and what is already going to be all Christmas here on the blog ;)! Today is the day that it all starts and I am kicking it off with my friend Kristen at Ella Claire as we share Christmas Cookie Recipes… I am happy to share my new favorite, Gingerbread Sugar Cookies (and of course these are gluten, dairy and egg free)!

So let’s be honest, I know I have shared a lot of sugar cookie recipes, but that is probably because they are just one of my most loved cookies! I have been having the best time trying to figure out a way to make them so that my family can still enjoy them too! Today’s recipe is no exception, as there have been plain sugar cookies, pumpkin flavor and now gingerbread, yay!!!

Here is how you will make them and what you will need…

  • 1 and 3/4 cup of almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour (and extra for rolling)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon cloves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup coconut sugar (or date sugar)
  • 1/2 cup palm shortening
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 2 tablespoons flaxseed and 6 tablespoons of water mixed (or 2 well beaten eggs)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar

A rolling pin with white polka dots on black handles and the dough wrapped in plastic on the counter.

Set your oven to 350 degrees. Simply use your mixer to mix the shortening and sugar until well combined. Then mix your dry ingredients separately and put them to the side. Next, add the rest of your wet ingredients to the shortening/sugar mix. Now slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into all the wet. But do not over mix. Take your dough and wrap it and place it into the freezer for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes pull your dough out and get rolling! I have found there a couple ways to do this…

Parchment paper on top of the gingerbread dough.

You can roll in-between two pieces of parchment paper and remove the top layer once the dough is 1/4 inch thick. Then you can cookie cut carefully onto the bottom piece of parchment paper.

Cookie cutters cutting out the the rolled out dough.

Or… You can do it on a cutting board. Dust it with coconut flour and begin rolling the same way. Just cut shapes straight from the cutting board and transfer to a baking sheet (non – stick).

Place your cookies into the oven for around 7 – 10 minutes. Watch them carefully as they can go from just right to burnt quickly, haha! They are pretty soft in general, so find that golden brown goodness that works in your oven by keeping an eye on them.

Let the gingerbread cookies cool and then begin decorating!

I used store bought icing again as I have not found a good substitute yet.

This is one of my most precious memories to enjoy with my kids each year and I am so glad we have a fun recipe to enjoy this season!

I got to surprise them when they got home the other day with this little sweet treat and boy were they excited ;)!

And I plan to use these for some of their Christmas festivities at school since so many kiddos have allergies. That is one thing that makes me so sad, when kids can’t join in the festivities because of their allergies.

I hope you enjoyed and mostly I hope you enjoy this recipe!

This could be a project that would be easily done with inexpensive pieces and makes a big impact for your outdoor space. Speaking of outdoor spaces, I shared ours all ready for summer up on the blog along with my friends. Come check it out if you need some easy ideas!

One of my new favorite tips comes from these 100% Cotton Turkish towels we were gifted from @theloomia! Not only are they pretty, they are large, but save space at the same time... You’ll have to go see what I mean in my stories, see you there! And @theloomia is offering 15% off when you use the code - Zevyjoy15 💕

And this hallway is finally done 🎉! Here is a little before and after... The board and batten design is from @anitayokota after I saw how she used it in her pretty bedroom I knew this would put a fun modern spin in the hallway. Some fresh paint, an affordable vintage rug and updated lighting completed this long dark space. Covering popcorn ceilings will come next, but I hope this shows how a little trim and paint go a long way when working on spaces! 🌿
This past week was a time to listen and prayerfully learn. My eyes were opened and my heart convicted to speak up and to do better... While I begin to share my content here, I will strive to move forward for change and find ways to support black lives here and at home.
Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawils Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawilson.msrd for more about this movement. My feed will be muted here as I listen and learn. I will be in stories sharing resources that support black lives. #amplifymelanatedvoices
Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out dressed sorta matching this morning 😂 This girl knows what she likes and asked to have her pink room transformed with blue... And you know when you give a mouse a cookie... 🍪 (Clearly I am the mouse 🐭 in this story 🤣) We finished up the new bead-board wall (I have trim touch up to do still) and then we are finishing spraying her little desk this afternoon. A couple vintage pieces are on the way, but otherwise I have been shopping the house for this little makeover. It’s all still in progress, but getting closer! And you all... This room is small!! So I am going to share how we tackle storage in this space so stay tuned in stories... 💕
Ever since I was little I can remember my dad tell Ever since I was little I can remember my dad telling me (who is a contractor/designer) the importance of using 3’s 💕. Now as I have made our own home, I almost always use the rule of 3’s whenever I am decorating. That goes for coffee tables, nightstands and more... I’m talking all about it and showing you some examples in stories today! And even more fun is that @boutiquerugs is offering 60% off with the code - ZEVYJOY60 ! This is the new rug we added from their collection to our bedroom here! So enjoy and have fun looking around at all their pretty selections... #boutiquerugspartner
You all know how I feel about pillows by now, don’t you?! 😂 Well in case you don’t... I think they are the best! They pull a space together affordably and make things cozy of course! You can trade them out or just keep adding to them (which is what I like to do 😉). And let’s face it, you can never have too many... Am I right? They are your artistic canvas in home decor and in my opinion there aren’t many rules to follow in the fun of mixing and matching them either! 🌿
Best of all, I’ve teamed up with 7 talented accounts to share how we used pillows to style our spaces. Head on over and check out what they’ve done... @thegingerhome
