Ginger Molasses Cookies So delicious, healthy, and EASY!
I avoided recipes for sweets for a few years. I've been able to let go of quite a few self-restrictions and find more love and compassion for my choices with food.
I still adjust these recipes to make them as healthy as possible while retaining all of the flavor and deliciousness.
I am selling these cookies and they are getting rave reviews. I was asked for my recipe so I decided it was time to get back to posting on my channel.
Here we go.........
Ginger Molasses Cookies
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup grass-fed butter (or 340g), softened
2 cups minus 2T organic cane sugar (or 356g) any granulated sugar will work
1/2 cup Blackstrap molasses DO NOT USE regular grocery store molasses
2 pasture-raised eggs
2 cups King Arthur All-purpose flour (240g)
2 cups King Arthur whole wheat flour (226g)
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp pink salt
Directions
~Wait to preheat your oven to 375 until you begin to roll the dough balls.
~In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, baking soda, salt and spices. Set aside.
~ In a medium to large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar for 1 minute until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and molasses. Mix in well.
~ Gradually add the dry ingredients, mix until well combined.
~Refrigerate for 1 hour to make balls easier to handle.
~ Use 6oz or 1" diameter as a guide to roll the cookie dough balls
~Roll the balls in sugar and place on parchment paper on large baking sheet about 2" apart. Bake for about 11 minutes. Note: all ovens are different so watch closely the first batch you bake.
~A cracked appearance is desirable. You may need to adjust the placement of your oven racks. Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 2 min then transfer to wire racks or a dish towel.
~ Serve immediately, in a day, in a week, or freeze for longer shelf life.
