"This recipe mixes and matches some of my favorite holiday cookie recipes into one: gingerbread cookies, the classic German Pfeffernusse cookie, and snowball cookies. Made with molasses, almond flour, maple syrup, and a combination of winter spices, these gluten free snowball gingerbread cookies are reminiscent of all the classic holiday cookie flavors, but made with wholesome ingredients."

A Note from Feedfeed
The texture of snowball cookies combined with the flavor of a German Pfefferüusse cookie is the perfect marriage of two-holiday cookies. We love this alternative version made gluten-free by rising almond flour.
