Enjoy gingersnap cookies this holiday without guilt. These cookies are soft, chewy, and perfect for festive times. They’re made with good ingredients and no refined flour or sugar, making them a better choice.

Each cookie has just 68 calories. The recipe uses 1 ¾ cups (210g) of white whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour. This makes them a tasty yet healthier option.

These cookies get their flavor from ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. We sweeten them with molasses and vanilla stevia. This means they’re just as sweet without refined sugar.

For the best taste and texture, flatten the dough before baking. Use a baking mat or parchment paper. Adding cornstarch and measuring flour correctly guarantees soft, chewy cookies. Store them in an airtight container for 3 days on the counter or a week in the fridge.
