This is our version of WFPB Gingerbread Men. No eggs, no fat, no refined sugar... and so delicious. Give them a try and let us know what you think. (This is one recipe that is not SOS free as we use molasses and maple syrup in to give it a gingerbread taste.)

- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix well.
Roll out to 1/4" thick between two pieces of parchment paper. Remove the top sheet of paper and cut with a Gingerbread Man cookie cutter.
If the dough sticks to the paper, dust it with more flour and reduce the almond milk in the recipe to 2 tablespoons next time.
Bake 15-20 minutes. Less time provides softer cookies and more time creates crisper cookies.
