Ooookay, who else is on a wild baking spree these days???

*raises hand aggressively*

I mean, if we’re doing lower maintenance holidays (aka, less travel, less people, less pressure) then we might as well use this time to get extra-cozy at home.

For me? That means lighting all the natty beeswax candlesticks (unless it’s this one, holiday scented) , turning on my go-to holiday playlist, pouring a festive holiday bevvie (or mocktail) and getting in the kitchen to whip up something warm and enriching… minus the giant sugar spike or fake-dye sprinkles.

(BTW– if that’s your holiday baking style, ZERO judgment at all over here. It just doesn’t make me feel great, so I like to look for & create tiny ways to upgrade cozy holiday favorites with simplified ‘gredies. That’s all!)

One of my favorites, year after year after year? The gluten free molasses ginger cookies. SO GOOD, you guys.

Noah helped me bake a batch this year and I will neeeever get over his little hands helping to form the dough and get these guys ready to bake away. Watch our 1-minute video below to see just how easy and fun they are… even for a 2-year-old!
