These are a great treat at Christmastime. Molasses is high in B vitamins and iron plus agave has one third the glycemic impact of sugar, yay!
Ingredients
¾ C coconut oil
1 C agave
¼ C molasses
2 eggs (organic and free-range)
3½ C whole-wheat flour, finely ground (preferably soft white wheat)
1½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. sea salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
3 tsp. ginger (plus, optionally, freshly grated ginger root)
1 tsp. nutmeg
Cream together the coconut oil and sweeteners, then add the egg and mix well. Add all the dry ingredients and mix well. Roll into walnut-sized balls and bake at 375° for 6 min. I rolled mine lightly in evaporated cane juice because my boys love the crunch.
This is a great healthy alternative to the processed sugar and fat counterpart.

ReplyDeleteHi! I found you via The Gracious Pantry while looking for a clean cookie recipe. These look delightful and are going on my "to do" list! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI just made these as a test for Christmas. I substituted a mixture of honey & maple syrup instead of agave and rolled them in coconut sugar and they turned out awesome! They're crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle (and you'd never know they're healthy!)
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed them Hediellia!
