Why These Gingerbread Cookies Are Perfect for Kids?
Kid-Friendly Ingredients: These cookies are made without eggs, molasses, or refined icing. Instead, we use wholesome ingredients like almond flour and coconut sugar to keep them healthy and delicious.
Fun Cooking Activity: Kids will love rolling out the dough, cutting festive shapes, and decorating their gingerbread men and Christmas trees.
Perfect for Snacks or Lunchboxes: These cookies are just the right size and sweetness for a mid-day treat or a lunchbox surprise.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Add almond flour, baking powder, and spices (ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves) to the creamed mixture of butter, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and avocado oil. Mix everything until a soft dough forms.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to create gingerbread men, Christmas trees, or your favorite festive shapes.
Place the cookies on a lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Let them cool completely before decorating.
Decorating Tips:
Instead of using store-bought icing full of artificial ingredients, try these healthier options:
White Chocolate: Melt white chocolate and use it as “glue” for decorations.
M&M’s: Add colorful M&M’s as buttons for gingerbread men.
Sprinkles: Use festive sprinkles to decorate Christmas tree cookies.
Baking these gingerbread cookies with your kids is more than just a cooking activity—it’s a chance to create lasting memories. From mixing the dough to decorating with sprinkles and M&M’s, every step is filled with fun and laughter.
Because let’s be honest: the best part of baking is sneaking a cookie (or two) while they’re still warm! 🎄✨
