Healthy Gingerbread Cookies
Occasionally I discover a new food and I simply fall in love! Maybe I shouldn’t say new but something that hasn’t been in my normal routine. Lately I’ve been enlivened by a couple of foods. One is ginger. I put it in my juices. Ginger is a wonderful food. I also am totally loving black strap molasses. And what better time than Christmas to have that happen?! Molasses equals all the goodness that sugar doesn’t. It is loaded with iron, calcium, magnesium, and manganese. Molasses also has a low glycemic index. So these Christmas treats are packed with both ginger and molasses. And this wonderful healthy recipe for gingerbread cookies might just be a new family favorite for you.
