Notes
*These cookies have a pretty strong molasses flavor, so if you don’t love molasses swap some or all with maple syrup.
**You can sub with applesauce, but the cookies will not spread as well and not have those delicious crispy edges.
***You can sub with all purpose flour if not gluten-free, or all purpose gluten-free flour if not paleo.
