With Christmas fast approaching, I thought it’d be the perfect time to share these “healthy” ginger cookies. I love these simple ingredients. My favorite Christmas cookies every year are gingersnaps.
The dough only uses one bowl and you can use a regular large spoon to mix everything together. It doesn’t take any fancy equipment, which is always a bonus in my opinion. It makes it that much easier to make them in a hurry, like during the week for example.
They are soft cookies, even after cooling, and they are slightly sweet with a bit of spice — just the way I like them!
