These gluten free gingersnap cookies are the best! They are crispy around the edges and chewy in the center. This recipe is easy to make and are wonderful Christmas cookies.

I love these gluten free gingersnap cookies with a cup of tea. The ground ginger makes them just a little bit spicy. With all the overindulgence this season the ginger is great for my stomach!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze gingersnap cookies?

Yes! These cookies freeze really well. I like to make cookie boxes at Christmas time. These cookies are one of the first cookies I make for the season because I can freeze them and then get them out to put in my boxes.

What goes good with these cookies?

I love a hot mug of ginger or peppermint tea with a plate full of gingersnap cookies. These cookies are also great in trifles or used in a pie or cheesecake crust. I use them in my Gluten Free Pumpkin Gingersnap Parfait and my Gluten Free Eggnog Cheesecake Bars with Gingersnap Crust.

How do you make good gingersnap cookies?

I think whether or not your cookies are good depends on the quality of ingredients you are using. Make sure your spices aren't expired. Fresh spices really make your cookies have more flavor. I also think it's important to use a good quality butter that has lots of rich flavor for this recipe.
