Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Coconut oil (solidified)
- 1 cup Light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsulphured molasses
- 1 whole Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for rolling)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the solidified coconut oil and light brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the unsulphured molasses, large egg, and vanilla extract to the coconut oil mixture. Beat until fully combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but firm.
Step 6
Scoop tablespoons of the dough and roll them into balls. Roll each dough ball in the granulated sugar to coat.
Step 7
Place the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still soft.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
