      They turned out great ;) I was out of cinnamon but used allspice instead of the cinnamon and cloves – so yum!

    Your photography is just beautiful! Great job. I especially love the obviously non-homoginzed milk. :)

    Does it have to be blanched almond flour? I only buy unblanched.

    Heather, you’re my new best friend! I am amazed at how these turned out. I felt like buddy the elf im the candy/spaghetti/poptart scene while savoring every bite :) Absolutely perfect flavor and super easy to make! I love gingerbread cookies but don’t really care for the cracker like snaps kind, and these were sodt and chewy just like I love! I’ll definitely be making these again and again :) thank you!
