Eggless Ginger Bread Cookies - Christmas Special

Christmas season is always exciting to me as my high schooling was throughout in a Christian Institution; I used to take part in Christmas carol, dramas / plays and used to dress like Santa. 

Let's go into treats for Christmas now,

For this Christmas I baked Rich plum cake and Ginger bread cookie.  I have adapted the recipe from here.  I have made some changes to suit my preference; I have added jaggery syrup instead of molasses and included wheat flour to make it healthy. It came out crunchy and tasty; not an exaggeration to say that our house was filled with the aroma of spices in the cookie and increased our festive mood!

This is a perfect sweet treat to celebrate Christmas; try and share with your loves ones.

                         Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas. 

                    May this joyful season greet you with health and happiness.
