Paleo Gluten Free Gingersnap Molasses Cookies

Paleo Gluten Free Gingersnap Molasses Cookies

Gingersnaps are not just for Christmas time! They are for anytime and they are a household favorite. This recipe is extremely simple and doesn’t require a lot of ingredients. I have always loved baking cookies. It is something Eryn and I did as kids together. I find it mildly meditative and love walking into the kitchen to the smell of fresh baked cookies.

Our dogs are like our children and they know the word cookie! I have several dog cookie recipes, but I have to admit, they did partake in a few of these Gingersnaps too (in small bites)!

If you eating Paleo, you can easily swap out the coconut sugar for Brown Sugar for a sweeter overall flavor. As always, feel free to make this recipe your own and enjoy!
