To me, nothing says Christmas more than the smell of ginger coming from the kitchen. This heady fragrance always makes me think of the holidays. It’s warming and comforting and, above all, tasty. It’s a very healthy spice too.
These cookies have a real taste of gingerbread about them but, unlike most store-bought cookies, contain no refined sugar.

Ingredients – makes 15:
1 ¼ cup whole wheat flour – sieved
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup molasses

Method:
Combine the flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, mix the butter, egg, and vanilla. Stir in the molasses and honey. Combine the two mixtures and stir until fully mixed and a dough forms. Refrigerate dough for 60 minutes to make the dough easier to handle.
