Servings 28 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
  • 2/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 6 TBSP molasses
  • 2 cups gluten-free 1:1 baking flour I used Bob's Red Mill
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cloves

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix the coconut oil, coconut sugar, egg, and molasses until combined. Add in the dry ingredients and stir until well-incorporated.
  • Allow dough to chill for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. 
  • Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on the greased cookie sheet, spacing them about 1" apart. Press down each mound slightly with the palm of your hand. 
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until bottoms of cookies start to get slightly brown and the cookies are set. 
  • Remove trays from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the trays for 2-3 minutes. Use a spatula to transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
