Soft Molasses Cookies Recipe
These Soft Molasses Cookies are an old-fashioned holiday favorite! They are soft, chewy, and packed with the flavors of warm spices.
Ingredients
- ½ cup tahini
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup dark molasses
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ cup whole wheat flour (I like to use heritage whole wheat flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the tahini, honey, dark molasses, vanilla, and egg. Next, add the whole wheat flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and sea salt and mix until combined.
- Use a spoon to scoop large balls and roll them in your hands. They will be very sticky.
- Spread the brown sugar out on a plate. Roll the cookie dough ball around the plate until it’s completely covered with brown sugar. Use your hand to flatten and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use two baking sheets if needed.
- Bake for 10 – 12 minutes.
- Cool cookies on the baking sheet for about five minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
