Ingredients
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix psyllium husk with warm water and set aside to gel.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a wooden spoon to cream together softened butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, xanthan gum (if needed), and salt.
- Add the gelled psyllium husk to the creamed butter mixture and mix well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and cut out Christmas shapes using star cookie cutters.
- Place the cutouts on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the biscuits to cool completely before decorating.
- Make sure your star-shaped cookies are completely baked and cooled before starting the decorating process. This ensures that the icing adheres well to the cookies.
- Melt the white vegan chocolate following the package instructions or your preferred method. You can use a microwave or a double boiler for this step.
- Once the white chocolate is melted, add the food coloring of your choice and mix well until you achieve the desired colors. Remember, a little food coloring goes a long way, so start with a small amount and adjust as needed.
- Dip each cookie into the colored chocolate, ensuring that the entire surface is coated. Alternatively, you can use a spatula or a butter knife to spread the colored chocolate onto the cookies.
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle gluten-free sprinkles on top of each cookie. This adds a delightful texture and extra festive flair.
- Place the decorated cookies on a parchment-lined tray and let them set. You can speed up the process by placing them in the refrigerator for quicker firming.

- Ensure that your gingerbread man-shaped cookies are completely baked and cooled before starting the decorating process. This ensures a smooth application of the pre-made icing.
- Using the pre-made gingerbread icing, start by outlining the edges of each gingerbread man cookie. Once outlined, use the icing to fill the inside of the outline. This creates a consistent and polished look.
- If needed, use a toothpick or a clean, small paintbrush to help smooth the surface of the icing. This ensures an even and neat appearance.
- Use the pre-made gingerbread icing to create eyes, a mouth, and any other desired features on the gingerbread men/women.
- If you'd like to add extra decorations like colored icing accents or edible embellishments, feel free to do so at this stage.
