Lemon Ginger Cookies


Vegan, gluten-free, and sugar-free yumminess!!!

Channel some sunshine into your holiday with these delicious quick and easy cookies! When the winter blues hits we tend to be drawn towards sugary treats that don't leave us feeling too good after the initial sugar rush. These cookies are sweetened with maple syrup, so while they taste amazing they won't leave you crashing afterwards. The lemon gives an uplifting boost, while the ginger aids in digestion.


These cookies are vegan and gluten free- sure to please any of you, or friends and family working with dietary restrictions.
