Taking The Stress Out Of Gluten-Free Grain-Free & Dairy-Free Living
Chocolate Chip Gingersnaps
I love gingersnaps and so does my husband. Especially this snowy time of year with a good cup of tea and a bit of coconut milk. I try to have a homemade treat available to snack on when he returns from traveling for work and this time it’s grain free gingersnaps.
I’m working on creating more and more grain free recipes as even gluten free grains don’t agree with me much these days. If you’re just looking for a gluten free gingersnap recipe, you can find another very tasty one HERE.
It took a couple attempts to make these work. Grain free baking is a challenge! With a few tweaks, the second batch turned out fantastic in texture and taste.
Crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle, and so aromatic. Your house will smell wonderful after you’ve baked them!
