Christmas is around the corner so I got you covered with my Healthier Gingerbread Cookies!

I absolutely love gingerbread everything. It’s so nostalgic and just perfect for this time of the year. These cookies are no exception! You get all the spicy flavor with a healthy twist.

These Healthier Gingerbread Cookies are on the chewy side of thr cookie spectrum. They’re super good and can keep well in a well closed container for up to 3 weeks! So let’s get baking!
