Paleo Ginger Molasses Cookies
Notes: Makes about 10-15 cookies. Can be doubled or tripled easily. If coconut sugar is not available, granulated or raw sugar will both work.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup melted and cooled coconut oil
- 1/4 coconut sugar
- 2 T molasses
- 1 egg at room temperature
- 1 t vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 t baking soda
- 3/4 t ground ginger
- 1/2 t cinnamon
- 1/2 t allspice
- 1/4 t salt
- Extra sugar for rolling
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- In a large bowl, mix together cooled coconut oil, coconut sugar, molasses, egg, and vanilla extract. Seriously, make sure the coconut oil is cooled!
- Add almond flour, coconut flour, basking soda, spices, and salt. Mix well to combine and form a dough. Rest for just a few minutes.
- Scoop a heaping tablespoon of dough, then roll between your hands to form a ball. Roll the ball in the extra sugar, if desired, then place on ungreased, papered baking sheet.
- Using your hand or the bottom of a glass, gently flatten each cookie. Bake for 8-11 minutes.
- Allow cookies to cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
