Spiced Almond Butter Molasses Cookies.
Spiced Almond Butter Molasses Cookies offer a healthier option if you are looking for that one cookie that represents the holidays or just provides a cozy atmosphere in your house throughout the cold winter months!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted raw almond butter stirred well
- ½ cup all-purpose flour organic unbleached, or almond flour, or oat flour
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar or raw sugar
- ¼ cup unsulphured molasses
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
For rolling
- ⅓ cup raw sugar or coconut sugar in a separate bowl
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 ℉. Line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
- Combine all the ingredients in a bowl with a wooden spoon until a dough has formed. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes to make the balls easier to form.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, roll 1 ½ tablespoons of cookie dough into a ball. Place the ball in the bowl of raw sugar and roll around to coat the outside. Place on the baking sheet 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and gently press down on them with the back of a spatula or carefully bang the cookie sheet on the counter to help the cookies flatten.
- Let the cookies cool 2 minutes on the baking sheet, then remove to a cooling rack. Let cool completely or the cookies will be crumbly. Place in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
