Delicious and easy!
What a treat! I am a gingerbread fanatic with an addiction to Walker’s Stem Ginger Biscuits. Wanting to become healthier, I sought out an alternative– here it is! Having prepared so many of your recipes, I already knew to double this one and I am so very glad I did! These are delicious! I made the recipe just as instructed with no add-ins and they are perfect. The gingerbread spice mix is spot-on and I will likely be sprinkling it on other things. Thank you for such a wonderful, healthier gingerbread option!
Awesome
