Gluten-free Gingerbread Cookies

Gluten-free gingerbread cookies spiced with nutmeg, cinnamon, and of course, ginger, for a traditional Christmas gingerbread flavor. These gingerbread cookies are also wheat-free and yeast-free. You could also make these gluten-free gingerbread cookies egg-free if needed by using tofu instead of eggs (see ingredients list). Recipe courtesy of Ener-G Foods
