Egg-Free Molasses Cookies
Molasses cookies are quite possibly the most flexible and easy-to-work-with type of cookie in the world. The molasses keeps them soft for days and you can even freeze the dough for up to 2 weeks... when that craving hits just pop into the oven. No matter what type of cookie texture you prefer, it is basically impossible to make a bad molasses cookie. Not only is this recipe gluten, grain and dairy free...it’s also egg free and AIP compliant. This is one you don’t want to miss!!

Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix coconut sugar, maple syrup, shortening and molasses together until well combined. Dump in dry ingredients, stirring ingredients together lightly. Finish with hand mixer until dough is well combined.
- Using a cookie scoop, or your hands, roll dough lightly into walnut-sized balls, then generously coat each ball with sugar. Place balls on a baking sheet and bake for 9 to 11 minutes, depending on if you prefer soft in the middle cookies, or more of a “snap.” When cookies are done baking gently press them down with the bottom of a glass to flatten, if desired. If you don’t press them down they will stay soft little round pillows. Up to you!
- Remove cookies from baking sheet and allow to cool on a wire rack…though these are amazing while still warm too.
