Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons coconut oil or room temperature unsalted butter
- 6 tablespoons molasses
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, allspice, and ginger.
- In a separate bowl, mix together sugar, oil, molasses, and egg.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix together gently.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and then roll each in sugar.
- Flatten balls slightly on baking sheet, then bake in oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Cookies should look “crinkly.” If the center is darker than the edges, they are still raw in the middle and should be baked an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Let cookies cool and transfer to airtight container up to 4 days.
