Gluten Free Molasses Ginger Cookies

Gluten free molasses ginger cookies are a fun and classic holiday cookie. They are also a nice change from all the chocolate and sugar cookies that are everywhere this time of year.

Don’t get me wrong I love chocolate and I love sugar cookies, but sometimes it is nice to change things up a little with something different.

These are one of my husband’s favorite gluten free cookie that I make. He loves them, so I knew I needed to share them for my 30 Days of Gluten Free Cookies. 

These cookies remind me of gingerbread because the flavors are very similar to what gingerbread tastes like. I made a batch of these a few weeks ago and they were gone in no time. My whole family loved them.
