I have a deep relationship with Christmas cookies. I always loved making them, but went a bit crazy with it after my mom died.
My mom died on November 24, 2011.
Every year since, from November 24 until Christmas Day, I make a different holiday cookie. It’s a way for me to pour my grief into something. To keep busy through all the feelings. I did this every year until COVID, when remote work meant I didn’t have colleagues to bring cookies to.
This year instead of cookies I’m making holiday granola. These are limited edition flavours.
Over the years I’ve tried many cookie recipes. This one here is very special. It was the first cookie I made after my mom died, and I’ve been making them for 12 years now.
It’s made with organic oats, organic extra virgin olive oil, organic molasses and organic dark brown sugar. It’s flavoured with organic dried ginger, freshly grated organic ginger root, and organic crystallized ginger.
It’s warm, comforting, a bit spicy. It’s not quite gingerbread, it’s its own beautiful thing. I think you’ll love it.
Available in 220g bags, the perfect size for stocking stuffers or snacking on the drive to cut down a tree. $12.99, limited time only.
