Gingerbread cookies in a sugar-free, low-carb and keto-friendly version. I always like these spiced biscuits but it is during the Christmas period that they are usually found or prepared, even as a gift for Christmas. This version that I propose is obviously sugar-free and low in carbohydrates, a good mix of spices is essential for success.
