You get creative and call them "Love Handles" 😍💕Typically gingerbread and gingersnap cookies are made with molasses, but we swapped out the old with the new (aka our NEW [Medjool date syrup](https://blog.joolies.com/https/blog.joolies.com/bittersweet-goodbye-to-joolies-date-syrup)). The spices really compliment the date syrup, giving you the delicious flavor of a classic gingersnap with a boost of nutrients.
