Chewy Molasses Cookies

Posted on | by tasha2020

These chewy blackstrap molasses cookies have a strong, sweet molasses flavour with a hint of turmeric and cinnamon. They are perfect alongside coffee or tea in the morning or as a sweet snack during the day.

Cream together:

  • ¼ cup avocado oil
  • ¼ cup butter or ghee
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 small egg
  • ¼ cup organic blackstrap molasses
  • 1 tsp real vanilla extract

Whisk separately:

  • 1 ¾ cup sprouted organic spelt or whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp turmeric
  • ¼ tsp salt

Mix dry and wet ingredients together until a soft dough is made. Drop small spoonfuls two inches apart on a parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Bake at 325 degrees F for 8 minutes. Cool on a wire rack and enjoy! They store well in a sealed container at room temperature for 3-4 days.

I had a ton of fun making these on an Instagram Live! You can go check out the saved IGTV replay here.

Spelt Cranberry Walnut Cookies

Posted on | by tasha2020

Yield: 12 large cookies Total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 3/4 cup spelt flour
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/3 cup walnut pieces
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries

Beat the first 6 ingredients, until thoroughly combined. Mix the remaining ingredients, excluding the walnuts and cranberries, in a separate bowl. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients mixing gently. Then toss in the walnuts pieces and dried cranberries and fold them in. Preheat your oven to 350 F. Drop generous spoonfuls of the dough onto a lined baking sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake for approximately 9 minutes. Don’t overbake them! You want to pull them out when they still look a tiny bit gooey in the center of the cookie. Let them stand on the baking sheet for about a minute before transferring them to cool on a wire rack. Now comes the best part, eat as many or as little as your hunger cues and palate desires! I enjoyed mine thoroughly with hot chocolate for breakfast.

A note on ingredients:

I feel the best mentally and physically when I use organic ingredients. They delight me and are my preference. When I made these, I had some organic ingredients on hand. They included: butter, coconut sugar, egg, vanilla extract, turmeric, spelt flour and dried cranberries. To me, using the organic ingredients I had on hand made the recipe extra delicious. Let me know how it makes you feel!
