New Post! Gluten-Free Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies 

Hi, it’s me coming to you with a VERY LASSSST MINUTE (we love those) baking project- Gluten Free Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies!   I was feeling a little bah humbug this year about making holiday treats cuz I don’t partake in them much these days (big sigh) but then I saw this recipe from Liz Prueitt (Tartine!) on Instagram and changed my mind. My house needed to smell good.

I mean… I had all of the ingredients (except cardamom!) so why not?

They’re incredible.  IN-CREDIBLE.

They’re spicy. They’re just the right amount of sweetness (I cut the icing in half from the original recipe) and  I love the texture so much that I want to take a whole stack and bite into them all at once.

For my next trick, I will make an ice cream sandwich with some!
