Look at them Crinkles!

These easy and delicious cookies come together in minutes and can be made fat and crinkly for soft cookies and and small, thin and snappy.

These cookies have a good load of molasses. If you do not like molasses, use light molasses or maple syrup. These are gluten-free with Oat + almond + rice flour. You can also make these with spelt or whole wheat pastry flour for a with gluten version.

The cookies are rolled up in sugar and cinnamon. Use chai spice for variation. These are adapted from my Triple Ginger Molasses Spelt Cookies(not gf). Try these for regular non gf version or try the 1 bowl Giant Molasses Cookies. I wanted to make them more crinkly and gluten-free.

Why I support Help animals India (HAI)

HAI is a 501 (c) 3 charity that supports multiple sanctuaries and rescues all over India.

One such sanctuary, HOPE in Raachi provides free anti-rabies shots because of HAI support. This family with their limited means, took their adopted street puppy any way they could to get the shots! How sweet is that. (bicycle + cloth bag).

Why is this important. Every time a stray dog bites a human, several strays are killed by cruel methods by the state government or people because of the scare of rabies. Even though the dog that bit, might have done so out of being threatened and not because he/she had rabies.

There are many street dogs in India. Some of the strays become community dogs, that means they still live on the street, but are given food, vaccinations, spay and neuter by people of the community. This way the population gets controlled and the dogs do not get killed out of rabies scares. HAI supports several such measures with the sanctuaries and rescues, to help communities and families adopt the strays and live harmoniously.

Another sanctuary supported by HAI is VSPCA . VSPCA keeps taking in discarded cows and calfs that head for illegal slaughter and keep adding to their ever growing herd. Their herd is already more than 800 and this current rescue (pictured below ) is 230 babies (male dairy calves) are now headed to rescue.

How many sanctuaries do you know that support thousands and thousands of animals that include wildlife, dogs, cats, domestic animals, cows, calfs, pigs, turtles and support the homeless with vegan meals!
