Vegan Gingersnap Cookies

These cookies are the type of cookies that no one would know are vegan, paleo, AIP, GF and dairy free!

They are so soft and chewy and taste like a traditional gingersnap cookie, but with a healthy spin on it.

With holiday season coming up, these cookies are the perfect gift to bring to any gatherings or....virtual zoom festivities.

I love the taste of molasses and now that Christmas is around the corner, I have an excuse to use it in every recipe.

These cookies are the perfect mid-day treat, especially when paired with egg nog!

I mean who doesn't love a holiday cookie dipped in some nog, and the best part is, everything is vegan, AIP, Paleo, GF and Dairy-free

When I tested this recipe, I asked my family if they could tell the cookies were vegan/paleo and before they could answer, my dad shoved two more in his mouth.

So I think its safe to safe, these cookies are a crowd pleaser!
