Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil (melted, slightly cooled)
• 0.5 cup Unsulphured molasses
• 0.5 cup Coconut sugar or brown sugar
• 1 unit Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Optional: Turbinado sugar (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, molasses, and coconut sugar. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture, and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

If desired, place the turbinado sugar in a small bowl. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll them into balls, and then roll each ball in the turbinado sugar to coat.

Step 7

Arrange the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake, as the cookies will finish setting as they cool.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
