A nicely spiced and snappy gingerbread, great for cutting into shapes and decorating.

Use a 1:1 gluten free flour in place of wheat flour for a gluten free option. If making a gluten free dough it is helpful to put the rolled-out dough in the freezer for 10 minutes before cutting. Dough can be frozen for up to 6 months.
