Introduction

My fiance claims not to like gingerbread, but he ate three of these babies and declared them "the best gingerbreads hes ever had".

Blackstrap molasses and spelt flour in these rolled spice cookies add a healthy touch to Christmas gift baskets this year. Sure, they're decorated with candy-coated chocolate balls... but chocolate's good for you, right?
