Molasses Cookies

Oh look, a tower of cookies!


This picture doesn't do the cookie justice. I couldn't capture the chewy, gooey, yet still kinda firm center of the cookie, so this is the best shot I've got.





Ingredients:
* 1/3 cup of molasses (you can use blackstrap molasses for more nutrition)
* 1/4 cup of vegetable/canola oil
* 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
* 1.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract
* 1 tablespoon of flaxmeal + 2 tablespoons of water, combined.
* 1 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
* 1 teaspoon of baking soda
* 1-1.5 tablespoons of ground ginger
* 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 370 degrees.
2. Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients.
4. Pour dry mixture into the wet and mix with a spatula.
5. Spoon out 1 tablespoon of dough onto a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
6. Bake for 8 minutes. Cool completely.

Don't you just love the cracked tops of a cookie? XD


Hhhmmmm, speaking of towers...


Well, I tried. Don't judge me. 

ENJOY!
