Gingerbread Men
Mr. Swiss Paleo’s favorite cookie is the good old Gingerbread Man. These were the only Christmas cookies that I made this year and they disappeared in the blink of an eye. Poor Santa didn’t get any. They turned out crispy and chewy at the same time and the gingerbread flavor was just right.

looks good…have to try these out!!
thank you for the simple recipe! The dough was hard to roll out I even put it in the freezer but with patience it worked out we love them!
Hi Jennifer,
I also had a harder time rolling it out this year than I did last year when I made them. Not sure why. I ended up having to add more arrowroot this time around. Glad you stuck with it and were able to enjoy them in the end 🙂
Looks very delicious!!!
Thanks 🙂
