Ginger cookies should be a year-round indulgence in my humble opinion. This batch is so healthy, they’re really a snack and…. won’t last long!
I’m always looking for ways to make cookies that have very little sugar, and especially no refined sugar! Molasses is rich in calcium, iron, potassium and other immune boosting properties, it’s an amazing sweetener choice but due to it’s specific flavor, not all recipes host it well. These cookies are also completely divine raw, you can roll the dough into little balls and place in the fridge for snacking (I prefer them cooked though).
