Christmas Favourites: Gluten Free Cinnamon Cookies

This recipe ticks all the boxes for gluten, egg and diary-free, which means that everyone can enjoy these gorgeous cookies. The hint of cinnamon offers a lovely festive flavor and I love using Maple Syrup as an alternative to sugar. Use star or other Christmas-themed cookie cutters and package them up in some cellophane with a lovely ribbon as Christmas gifts.
