I honestly didn’t think it was possible, but I have officially succeeded in creating a keto-paleo friendly GINGERBREAD cookie!!! The taste, the texture, the color, and overall appearance are absolute perfection. Not only that, these gingerbread cookies are actually GOOD for you. They happen to be filled with a variety of healthy fats, fiber, protein, and even pre-biotics that are wonderful for our gut health!
I think they also happen to be pretty darn adorable too :). And look at how sturdy these are. They hold their shape beautifully and can be used for any type of cut outs you want to use.
