Vegan Ginger Chews

One of my favourite traditions this time of year is to crank the holiday music or put on the goofiest movie and bake up a storm! In other words, be a total goof. For whatever reason, I love to do this when the house is empty or late at night in the glow of candles and twinkle lights.
