Has anyone made these with almond meal/ flour? If so, did you need to tweak at all?

What is 'golden syrup'? Can it be made at home?

Loved this recipe! Here's some helpful info if you're American though: 125g of butter is roughly 1/2C plus 1T. We also don't have golden syrup here so I used 1/4C of Molasses instead. After reading the comments, I added more spice too: 1/4t each of allspice and ground cloves. Baked at 350 for 9 minutes. Perfection! -
The taste was amazing. I added extra spices, delicious! The dough was too soft, it might be the brands of GF flour we have in NZ. They are all such a fine consistency that they don't make dough very easily. However I just made lil round cookies since the dough was too soft for rolled out cookie cutting. I iced them as lil reindeer! So cute! -

This cookies recipe is so easy and delicious. I have tried many different recipes for Gingerbread, this was by far my best experience. They look as great as they taste, that is my favorite part. I made them with my kids and the had a blast making pretty cookies! -
This is the best Gluten Free recipe ever. That biscuit did not crumble nor did they stay undercooked and you would never know that it is Gluten Free. I would recommend this recipe to any coeliacs and to people trying to find a good Gluten Free ginger bread recipe.

I used 2 cups of G Free Self Raising flour instead of plain all purpose flour and baking powder and bicarb soda. I also added 1/2 teaspoon of mixed spice and only 1/4 cup of dark brown sugar.

This recipe is great overall, however it is a nice touch to add a half teaspoon more cinnamon, one teaspoon more ginger powder and a teaspoon of nutmeg just to add a little more flavour! -
