When it’s holiday season, I literally wake up with a Christmas song in my head everyday! Sooooo much delicious food, I eat pretty clean for most meals so I really am into dessert.

However, the great thing about baking in your own kitchen is you don’t need to wait till it’s holiday season to bake gingerbread cookies!

These gingerbread maple cookies without molasses are super fragrant, flaky, & mouth-wateringly buttery.

I like to make gingerbread cookies without molasses because quite frankly I never buy it, I never go to the grocery store and think ‘‘You know what my pantry needs? Molasses”.

These gingerbread cookies have a shortbread texture, so they are perfect and sturdy enough to decorate.

Tips For Making Gingerbread Cookies Without Molasses:

• Chill the dough before you roll out and after. The cookies will taste more flavorful & hold their shape better.

• You can freeze this dough for up to 2 months but throw it out if it gets freezer burn.

• Store in an airtight container in the pantry, they don’t go soft straight away like other cookies.

• Eat with a cup of tea.

Happy Holidays! x
