Apple gingerbread cookies
The Story
I love playing with recipes and creating always something new. Once I prepared freshly squeezed apple juice for my kids and I thought - oh wait, how to use the apple pulp? I just combined it with other good ingredients and the result you can see. You just have to try these apple gingerbread cookies. They are soft, not too sweet and not only my kids loved them!
