If any cookie can be sexy, it’s these Gluten-Free Gingerbread Kiss Cookies. Just look at that texture!
My family loves this classic cookie. They are fun, simple to make, and they have a spicy twist.
Gluten-Free Gingerbread Kiss Cookies are similar to Peanut Butter Blossoms, only more rich in flavor.
As many of you know, my youngest can’t have peanuts. They make her sick.
While I could’ve used almond butter to make kiss cookies, also known as blossom cookies, she loves gingerbread and I wanted to make something she’d love.
These cookies are too good to not share. They make the perfect holiday gift for neighbors and friends.
