Gingerbread Almond Butter Tagalongs
‘Tis the season for all things gingerbread! Quite possibly my favorite holiday flavor (Cranberry orange and peppermint follow close behind!). I am obsessed with making homemade tagalong inspired cookies. They’re easy, they’re simple, they don’t take much time, and they’re always ADDICTING.
I recently made a batch of homemade gingerbread spiced almond butter and instantly fell in love. I just threw the almonds into my Nutramilk, let it work it’s magic, and then added in the spices. I cooked the cookies, topped them with a little bit of the almond butter, and dipped them in white chocolate - and my dreams came true, ha!
The Nutramilk is probably one of my favorite gadgets. We use it at least once a week, making our homemade nut/seed butters and milks! We have a killer strawberry oat milk recipe I’ll have to share soon! You can check them out here if they tickle your fancy! I definitely think they’re worth the investment if you’re a fan of making your own butters/milks!
