I love baking cookies this time of year, and these ginger molasses cookies are perfect for the holiday season. Ginger, cinnamon, and the other spices offer a warm festive flavour, while molasses and date syrup sweeten things up. This recipe is vegan, oil free, and very easy to make! Ryerden (our 5 year old) prefers the cookie cutter version, but I personally prefer to make the “ugly version” of these cookies by simply rolling them into balls and flattening them slightly. Choose your own adventure. They are delicious either way!
