Lassy Mogs are a traditional Scottish cookie that are similar to ginger snaps. They get their unique flavor from the combination of spices like cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. These cookies are a great alternative to traditional sugary treats, as they use natural sweeteners like molasses, dates and raisins. The addition of pecans not only adds some crunch and texture, but also some healthy fats and other important nutrients like fiber and antioxidants.
