Miss baking Christmas cookies like when you were a kid? Now, you no longer have to! You can make charming little keto gingerbread men this holiday season.

As they bake, your kitchen will fill with sweet and spicy aromas that will make you want to take them out early and munch on them!

But trust me – they are worth the wait. These gingerbread cookies have a nutty and spicy flavor that is enhanced with the barely-there sweetness. They are basically the perfect Christmas cookies.

Even though it’s optional, have fun and decorate them with the kids! I’m even including the recipe for a low-carb frosting you can use to make the mischievous grins and white round buttons.
