Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies

Servings: 12

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F then line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, oat flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Sift together then set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment (or a large bowl using a hand mixer), add the solidified coconut oil, coconut sugar, molasses, vanilla extract, and milk. Cream together on medium speed for about 1-minute.
  • With the mixer running on low speed, add the dry ingredients to the bowl in two parts. Allow to mix until a dough forms, for about 30 seconds. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides and mix again, as needed. If for some reason your dough is too sticky to handle, try refrigerating it for at least 30 minutes to help the coconut oil solidify.
  • Take 1 and 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball. Sprinkle with organic sugar (if desired) then bake cookies for about 10-12 minutes, until they are puffy and just starting to spread. Be sure to peak through the oven door when checking on them rather than opening it and letting the heat out. If they seem undercooked at first, don't worry! They will harden as they cool.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days at room temperature.

Notes

*Be sure to use certified gluten-free oat flour for allergies.
**If coconut oil isn’t soft enough to scoop at room temperature, try microwaving it (without the lid) for about 10 seconds. You want it to be firm but not rock hard.
***Coconut sugar tends to be less sweet than brown or white sugar. If you want to substitute with either of those keep in mind the cookies will be much sweeter. I haven't tested it but using 1/3 cup instead of 1/2 cup should work the same.
