GINGER SPICE COOKIES {PALEO}

Christmas is just around the corner, which means I will be making my paleo Ginger Spice Cookies!

Anytime I am baking, I try to work healthier ingredients into the recipe so I can feel good about what I am eating. This recipe uses unsulphured blackstrap molasses, which happens to be incredibly nutrient dense. It’s high in iron, calcium, copper, manganese, magnesium, potassium, b vitamins, and selenium. Not bad for a sweetener!

I also love baking with tigernut flour because it happens to be a great source prebiotic fiber. And of course, I always throw some collagen powder in for good measure.

Here is the recipe for my Paleo Ginger Spice Cookies!
