My point is not that you can’t enjoy these delicious treats that come around this time of year, but rather that this is so many more treats than I normally have on hand…and my guess is that you might be in the same boat. This is exactly why Jess and I are excited to be sharing with you some healthier holiday treat options that you can add to your mix of goodies. Options that are made with health in mind, real food ingredients, and less sugar.

Treats and cookies CAN be made healthier and taste equally delicious!

Now don’t get me wrong, there are some recipes that I don’t mess around with: Grandma BK’s Kringla and Grandma Verna’s Peanut Brittle. These recipes will always be made as written and will always be enjoyed without an ounce of guilt because they’re filled with childhood memories and family traditions. With that said, if there IS a recipe that I can tweak to reduce the sugar, make them refined-sugar free, substitute the white flour for something a little healthier like coconut flour or almond flour and the outcome is equally delicious, I absolutely will! Which brings me to sharing with you one of my personal favorites, these oh-so-scrumptious Paleo Soft-Batch Ginger Molasses Cookies.

You are in for a treat, my friend!

Paleo Soft-Batch Ginger Molasses Cookies are gluten-free, made with a blend of coconut flour and almond flour, sweetened lightly with coconut sugar and molasses and made complete with cashew butter, cinnamon and ginger. The mouth-watering aroma they give off when baking will instantly put you in the holiday spirit (if you’re not already). You can drizzle them with a little chocolate and top with crushed pecans if you wish.

Is your mouth watering yet? I can’t wait for you to give these Paleo Soft-Batch Ginger Molasses Cookies a try! They’re the perfect healthier holiday treat for your upcoming parties and gatherings or to simply enjoy with a cup of coffee in front of your beautifully lit tree (exactly what I’ll be doing in the days to come). In addition, these cookies also make for a tasty accompaniment on a Christmas morning brunch or breakfast menu and because there’s less sugar, they also make for a fun after-school or lunchbox treat for the kids.

Lastly, these cookies are freezer-friendly so feel free to make them ahead and enjoy in the weeks to come.
