Ginger Bread People -- School Cookies -- gluten free, nut free, grain free etc

My son wanted to make gingerbread people. He also wanted to be able to bring one to school for a snack. So, here goes!!! He sometimes helped by stuffing his face with raw pumpkin seeds, but mostly he's great at adding and stirring ingredients. These cookies are nice and spicy, and my son had a lot of fun choosing the shapes and cutting them out. The chilled dough is a little firm, so unfortunately I had to do the rolling. Such is the way of gluten free dough ...  But he had a great time. Can you tell?
