Molly's Ginger Molasses Cookies

Molly's Ginger Molasses Cookies

I have worn many hats over the years of running our restaurants - from Front of House manager to Hospitality Director. But the role I love the most is being the Chai Pani mom. Caring for our teams involves a lot of intention, and sometimes it means showing up with a great home made cookie on a rough day. Spreading love, especially love baked into cookies, brings me so much joy. I love to bake and my mother is a world class baker so we have a lot of good cookie recipes in our family. This is a great one and super easy - and it’s one of my favorite things to pair with chai time!

  • We haven’t tested almond flour, Karin – but it’s definitely worth a try! Let us know how they turn out.

  • Can you sub out almond flour for this to make a gluten-free version?
