These healthier cookies are sweetened with honey and molasses. They are so easy to make with just a few basic ingredients.
‘tis the season for cookies, baking, crafts, and giving!
My two year old has really been in the baking mood. In the morning she opens the cabinets and gets out ingredients before I make coffee. Today just the two of us made gingerbread cookies before everyone else woke up.
I highly suggest eating them with with your morning Coffee or afternoon Tea yummy! I was never a fan of Gingerbread men but I am really liking these!
I try make everything as healthy and natural as possible. Especially treats for my kids. Sometimes that can be difficult, but not with this simple recipe.

Not the same one I used but this one looks nice Cookie sheet HERE or this one from Nordic Ware.
We decorated our gingerbread men with cut up marshmallow pieces and chocolate chips.
The classic icing recipe is also great with these as well. Simply mix 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of milk. Add coloring or sprinkles.
