Sugar-Free Chewy Gingerbread Spice Cookies

These Gingerbread cookies are incredible. The perfect cookie when you want something comforting, and special enough to feel like a celebratory treat.

These are based on my Chewy Gingerbread Spice Cookies, but without sugar and using less ginger so it wouldn’t become overpowering.

You could roll them into balls and press softly with a glass or mug to get the original gingersnap look, but I prefer to just drop them onto the pan for quicker baking and cleanup.

I honestly thought my daughters wouldn’t enjoy these much without the sugar, but my youngest asked for more and more- she’s truly a fan, and I think you will be too.
