Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Coconut oil, solid (not melted)
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Unsulfured molasses
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the solid coconut oil and brown sugar together until creamy and smooth.
Add the egg, molasses, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll it into balls approximately 1.5 inches in diameter.
Roll each ball in the granulated sugar until fully coated.
Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are cracked but still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
