You will also love these keto peppermint brownies and sipping on keto hot chocolate. How cute are these gingerbread cookies?! This is actually my very first time decorating a cookie, and considering I didn’t even have any piping materials I think I totally killed it! I just put my icing mix into a baggie and cut the corner off of it – so no worries if you don’t having any piping stuff at home! My house smelled absolutely amazing and Christmas-y when I made these, so of course I turned on some Christmas music. These cookies freeze well too if you want to make them ahead! You can skip the food coloring if you would like, the icing is naturally white so you can decorate with that. Or skip the icing all together, these cookies are amazing without it too!
