Title: Ginger Molasses Cookie Vegan
Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon ground ginger
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
– 1/2 cup molasses
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar, for rolling the cookies
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, molasses, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can place it in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes to firm up slightly.
5. Place the granulated sugar in a small bowl. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then gently roll each ball in the sugar until coated.
6. Arrange the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand.
7. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
