Gingerbread is one of my favorite dessert to make especially during the holidays. These cookies are very easy to make and just so crunchy and packed with flavor. The special ingredient, moasses adds heaps of nutriends. Its a healthy sweetener, promotes healthy bones (great source of calcium), and an excellent source of vitamins and minerals ( B Vitamins, magnesium, potassium).

1 pack Vegan Myoko Butter ( 8oz)
1/2 cup Monkfruit sweetener
1 tsp Vanilla Essence
