Do you love a good gingerbread / spice cookie? Then I have a real treat for you!
These grain-free, dairy-free, egg-free, perfectly chewy cookies are so full of flavor and so absolutely delicious! They are a great way to enjoy a classic taste of the holiday season without derailing you from your healthy lifestyle. Serve them up – along with my Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars – at holiday events and give them out as holiday gifts. Everyone will love them, and no one will miss the bad-for-you ingredients (ex. grain flour, refined sugar).
You can make these cookies Paleo-friendly (but not low carb) by using regular honey or maple syrup, or you can make them low carb (as the recipe is written) by using monk fruit maple syrup (my fave is Besti). Either way, they’re pure delight!
