I love the fresh, delicious flavor of gingerbread… …but these cookies were kinda boring, so I jazzed them up with some AB & J! During the holidays gingerbread is all the rage – and these cookies are pretty good, but even BETTER with my added twist of almond butter and jelly for some extra sweetness. These cookies are dairy free,

Desserts, YES! We love healthy, delicious, feel-good desserts. What do we love even more? When you can make them in 5 mins or less.
