Paleo Molasses Cookies

My husband and I have a on-going cookie jar joke.  We have a cookie jar but never any cookies.  Seeing the cookie jar sit empty and lonely on the counter is a bit of a tease for him.   I, myself, would rather grab a handful of nuts then eat a cookie any day. (yes, I’m that awesome mom, don’t judge me, my sister is the same way!)   However, my hardworking hubby and our 3 busy kid-lets deserve some sweetness once in a while.

I love this recipe, not only because they are so easy to make, but you could fool just about anyone with these cookies.. No one would guess that these are Paleo. This recipe is seriously delicious!!  And with it being Gluten free, Sugar free and easy as pie, I don’t mind having them around.  As a matter of fact, I may have already ate a handful of them today. Shh..
