It\u2019s that time of year again! \u00a0Christmas baking is in full swing, and our annual Food Bloggers Cookie Swap<\/a> had another great year. \u00a0Sending out packages filled with cookies is tons of fun, and getting\u00a0cookie packages dropped off at your door is even better! \u00a0This year for the swap, I wanted to make something different, a.k.a. something that didn\u2019t involve chocolate.<\/p>\n

I wanted a spicy ginger cookie rolled in sugar, soft and chewy. \u00a0These ginger molasses cookies are great with a glass of milk. You can use regular AP flour or your favorite gluten free flour blend, and they\u2019re easily made vegan by subbing in non-dairy milk. \u00a0Rolling them in the course sugar gives the cookies an extra little crunch on the outside, the perfect match for every gingery bite.<\/p>\n

Happy Christmas baking!<\/p>\n

Ginger Molasses Cookies<\/h3>\n

Gluten-free\/vegan friendly<\/h4>\n

Makes about 3 dozen<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 2 cups flour (AP or gluten free)<\/li>\n
  • 2 tsp baking soda<\/li>\n
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder<\/li>\n
  • Pinch of salt<\/li>\n
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon<\/li>\n
  • 1 tsp ground ginger<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 tsp ground nutmeg<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup molasses<\/li>\n
  • 6 T milk (dairy or non-dairy) whisked with 2 T tapioca (or corn) starch<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup brown or coconut sugar<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup course white sugar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Instructions:<\/p>\n

    Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0 and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.<\/p>\n

    Whisk the dry ingredients in a large bowl. \u00a0In the bowl of your mixer, combine the wet ingredients, mixing on medium-high until smooth.<\/p>\n

    With the mixer on low, slowly add in the dry ingredients, mixing on low until combined. \u00a0Use a small cookie scoop to roll the cookie dough into balls, and dip each cookie ball in the course sugar. \u00a0Place the cookie dough on the lined baking sheet, flattening each cookie ball slightly with your hand.<\/p>\n

    Bake the cookies at 375\u00b0 for 8-9 minutes, until the tops of the cookies are set. \u00a0Let cool and enjoy!<\/p>\n
