Ginger snap cookies are always a holiday favorite. Slightly crispy on the outside, but soft and chewy on the inside, these sweet and spicy cookies will fill your kitchen with all the fragrances reminiscent of winter. We hope you love these gluten-free and vegan ginger snaps as much as we do!
Try dipping them in homemade almond milk for a truly heartwarming winter dessert.
