I love the holiday season! Everyone seems to be in good spirits, there are lots of parties, and also lots of treats! Sometimes too many parties and treats can be our downfall. While being too restrictive can backfire, having some healthier recipes in your back pocket can allow you to enjoy those treats without all of the guilt. Try these delicious ginger molasses cookies for crowd-pleasing festive dessert! They are soft, pillowy, sweet, and spicy. YUM :)
Ingredients
1/4 cup melted and cooled coconut oil
3 tbsp honey
3 tbsp blackstrap molasses
1 egg, room temperature
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground ginger
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix together the coconut oil, honey, molasses, egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet until a sticky dough forms. Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
Roll the dough into 10 balls. Place on cookie sheet and flatten with the back of your hand.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Let cool before serving
