We found the magic ingredient that will take your gingersnaps to a new level - coconut oil. Not only does the coconut oil complement spices in these cookies, it is also a healthier oil.
Speaking of more nutritious alternatives, we also recommend the Heritage Whole Wheat Pastry Flour in this recipe. It is milled so fine most people won't be able to tell they are having a 100% whole wheat cookie! Any of our flours will work but the Heritage Whole Wheat Pastry Flour just does something extra wonderful here.
Ingredients
1 cup packed brown sugar
¾ cup coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled
¼ cup molasses
1 large egg
-
2 Cups Heritage Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup white sugar for decoration
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Coating
Directions
Heat the oven to 375 degrees F
Mix together brown sugar, coconut oil, molasses, and egg in a large bowl.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well.
In a small bowl, combine the coating ingredients.
Scoop 1- 1 1/4 inch dough balls into the coating and turn until the dough ball is completely coated
Place on a parchment lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
Bake for 10 minutes and cool on wire racks.
“Terrible”! so addicting. Absolutely delicious!!!
Will regular Heritage White Flour work here, also, instead of whole wheat pastry flour?
I made these with softened butter instead of coconut oil but they were amazing. Perfectly soft and perfectly spiced.
Made these today, they came out great, very good recipe
I baked half of the dough before I decided it was spreading too much and not puffing as I hoped. I added 2 TBSP flour to the dough that was left and these cookies baked up better. I couldn’t find mild molasses, so had to use blackstrap, which was fine for flavor for me, but made for a very dark cookie. I also doubled the ginger, added nutmeg and allspice and black pepper (my other favorite recipe has them. We like very gingery cookies!
This recipe is fabulous! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Definitely hubby- approved!!!
Light brown or dark brown sugar?
