Antioxidant Ginger Snap Cookies

We all have that holiday staple, and for me – its gingerbread everything. Gingerbread houses, gingerbread men, and of course ginger snap cookies. This recipe can be used as described below or if you are feeling particularly festive, use this to make decorative gingerbread men! If you decide to go that route, check out our own coconut maple icing creation from the bottom of this post OR for an easy swap, we love this Simple Mills frosting in a pinch.
