We just recently made cinnamon almond flour shortbread cookies, and then shortly after some three ingredient paleo cookies. I’m excited to share my next batch of gluten free delights: almond butter ginger cookies!
Now if you are following Whole 30, you still have the option to participate in a Christmas cookie exchange this year.
Challenge your paleo friends to bring something as delicious as these! They are easy to make and the hint of ginger is just perfect.
Have them with a cup of coffee (with paleo approved creamer, of course) on a cozy holiday night. Get the recipe below.
