This is my #1 most asked for recipe. These Paleo Gingerbread Sticks are a huge hit with family and friends. Best of all, they are good for pretty much anyone.

The make everyone happy cookie is:

Gluten Free
Dairy Free
Vegan
Paleo
Grain Free
Soy Free
Refined Sugar Free
Delicious

Of course I dunked mine in organic white chocolate and Christmas sprinkles to make them a little extra for the holidays but this is totally optional. I’ve made them dozens of times without doing this and they are just as tasty.

Now to be honest, I am not a huge fan of gingerbread cookies. They tend to be really hard and dry. Not these. These paleo gingerbread sticks are chewy and rich in ginger, molasses, cinnamon and clove. I could eat a dozen!

The key is to be sure to cut them when they are hot. They will cool in the shape/size that you want and that way they will easily break apart. I cook them another 10 minutes on low heat to give them a caramelized flavor and chewy texture. This is imperative to have the right final product.

I hope you enjoy these as much as my family does! Happy Holidays!
