Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup molasses
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup almond milk
- 1 egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, blend the coconut oil with brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the molasses, vanilla extract, and egg, mixing until well combined.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the almond milk, until a sticky dough forms.
Lightly flour a surface and turn the dough onto it. Roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Using a pig-shaped cookie cutter, cut out cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are firm and slightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
