Spiced Molasses Cookies
These spiced molasses cookies are full of sugar and spice and all things nice. A tasty flavor profile and crispy bite that pairs with coffee!
Servings: 4 dozen
Ingredients
- ¾ cup coconut oil melted
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ cup molasses
- 1 egg
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Additional sugar to roll cookies in about ½ cup
Instructions
- Combine coconut oil, sugar, and molasses in a large bowl. Stir in egg (making sure the oil is cool enough that it won’t accidentally cook the egg).
- In a small bowl, combine flour and spices. Stir into the molasses mixture until well combined. This will be a stiffer dough. Allow to chill for ½ hour or more.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Form into 1 ½ inch diameter balls (I like to use ½ tablespoon). Roll in additional sugar and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes. Allow to cool for 1-2 minutes and then place on a cooling rack to cool completely.
