Soft Molasses Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup sucanat
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 cup molasses (I used blackstrap molasses- a less refined version)
- 1 egg
- 3 cups flour (I used unbleached all-purpose. Whole wheat or spelt might work as well.)
- 1 1/2 t. baking soda
- 1 t. ground cinnamon
- 1 t. ground ginger
- 1/2 t. sea salt (I use this one)
- Coarse sugar– optional
Instructions
- Mix sugar, butter, coconut oil, molasses, and egg in a large bowl until smooth
- Stir in remaining ingredients
- Place rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet
- Optional: Dip the top of each dough ball in coarse sugar
- Bake 8-10 minutes at 375 degree preheated oven. (Don’t overbake or they will lose their softness!)
