This time of year when all i want to do is bake cookies. This is a Christmas classic. The best Christmas cookie Isn’t it? Vegan, healthy and very tasty with fabulous spices. The smell and taste of ginger, cinnamon and cloves are great. The gingerbread is very fun to make cookies and decorate. If you have children, you should definitely try together. I’m sure there’il be nice cookies.
Decorate as you like. You can use other colors with natural superfood sources. Or you can just do it with your own color of powdered sugar. The cookies look great in white. I used ginger men and a Christmas tree cookie cutter. You can make Christmas candy, snowflakes or any cutter you want.
Let’s have fun and enjoy it!
