Ingredients Method

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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. Allow dough to chill for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  3. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. 
  4. 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. 
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until bottoms of cookies start to get slightly brown and the cookies are set. 
  6. 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.
