Ingredients
- 1/2 C butter, softened
- 1/4 C coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 2-4 T molasses
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 C applesauce
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 3/4 C coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- dash salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment if desired.
- In a mixing bowl, stir sugar into softened butter. Beat in molasses and egg until smooth.
- Add applesauce, spices, coconut flour, and baking soda and salt. Mix well. Allow dough to rest for 5-10 minutes; the coconut flour will absorb moisture.
- Roll dough into balls. Bake a test cookie for about 10 minutes or until the edges of the bottom of the cookie are browned. Adjust the dough if needed. (See instructions below.)
- Bake remaining cookie balls. The cookies will be fragile and crumbly right out of the oven, but they will be sturdier after they cool.
