GLUTEN-FREE GINGERSNAP COOKIES
I decided to squeeze in one more holiday cookie recipe before the New Year! These gluten-free gingersnaps are the best cookie I've ever made, and I might even go as far to say my new favorite cookie of all time! They are made with nut and oat flours and pack a serious flavor punch, thanks to tons of spices and fresh ginger! When I think about the perfect cookie, I think crispy outside and soft inside. These are exactly that!

- Mix oat flour, almond flour, coconut flour, fresh ginger, ground ginger, baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, and cloves together in a separate bowl. Add to butter mixture slowly and combine. Refrigerate dough for at least 1 hour, to overnight; dough will be very wet before it's chilled.

Tips:
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
- Use parchment paper: Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper prevents the cookies from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just set: The cookies will continue to bake on the baking sheet as they cool, so it's important to take them out of the oven when the edges are just set and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing: The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool, so it's important to let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.

These gluten-free gingersnap cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people with and without gluten sensitivities. With their chewy texture and spicy flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
