Enjoy treats AND maintain good health and well-being during the Holidays!
While I love traditional Holiday cookies & treats that only come around once a year, and surely I will be enjoying a few of the classics my grandmothers make – Kringla anyone?! It’s also important to me that I maintain my good health and well-being during the Holidays. I want to feel my absolute best so that I can be present and show-up for others. When I go overboard on sugar, I don’t feel well. I feel lethargic, puffy, foggy and bloated and nobody wants to feel that way during the Holidays! I enjoy creating healthier holiday treat recipes because I want you to feel your absolute best and avoid the feelings that are associated with over-indulging in sugary treats. Friends, you’re going to love that these Grain-free Soft Ginger Molasses Cookies contain only 7 gram of sugar per cookie. Best of all, you’ll never know that they are the ‘healthier’ version! Grain-free Ginger Molasses Cookies are allergy-friendly too. They’re gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free, vegan & paleo-friendly and out of this world delicious!
You can’t beat the combination of molasses, maple syrup, cinnamon, and ginger all in one bite!
Before baking, flatten the dough mounds to form the perfect cookie shape.
Skip the sugary frosting and reduce the sugar by simply drizzling the cookies with melted coconut butter.
Coconut butter is the perfect alternative to sugary-frosting. It provides a hint of sweetness and doesn’t overpower the delicious flavor of the cookie. You can even mix in your favorite extracts or spices to add another dimension of subtle flavor. The coconut butter will not give the cookies a coconut flavor. How to melt coconut butter: Coconut butter can get pretty hard, even at room temperature and especially in the winter months. I recommend that you melt the coconut butter in a saucepan on medium heat or in the microwave in 20 second increments until it reaches a drizzly consistency. If the coconut butter is too hard to even scoop out of the jar and place in a bowl to heat, I typically just place the entire jar in the microwave. When microwaving, you want to be sure to watch it closely as coconut butter burns pretty easily.
