And it has officially started! Cookie baking! I love making all the cookies for this season, not to mention eating them too, eh hem...
This is a new recipe we tried out, and Austin declared that they MUST be the cookies we leave out for Santa. I agree.

I found the original recipe here, but modified the ingredients a bit. So here's how we did it...
Chewy Ginger Snaps
3/4 Cup Butter (grass fed) - softened
1 Cup Raw Sugar (+ 1/2 Cup for rolling)
1 Egg (pastured)
1/2 Cup un-sulphured molasses
2.5 Cups Whole Wheat Flour (or any kind of flour - I bet spelt would work nicely)
2 tsp Baking soda
3 tsp Ground Ginger
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees
2. Cream together the butter and sugar. Add the egg, slightly beaten and the molasses and mix until well blended. Sift or whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon and sea salt. Add half the flour mixture and stir until well combined, add the other half and mix well.
3. Make small balls (about 1") by rolling pieces of the dough between your hands, and then roll around in the the half cup of sugar.
4. Place the balls on a parchment lined baking sheet (do not flatten the balls), and cook for10-12 minutes.
5. Allow to cool for 1 minute on the baking sheet, and then transfer to a cooling rack.
This makes about 36 cookies.
