Chocolate ginger sparkle cookies

[cookieclickercookieeater]

Today's cookies should in theory be chocolate oatmeal cookies, but I don't feel like baking today, so I'm jumping ahead to molasses cookies. I got Uncle Eddies molasses cookies for these.

These are soft and surprisingly to me, not particularly chewy. The granulated sugar adds a bit of coarseness to the texture, and the flavor is pretty much the same as gingerbread. These are excellent.

Vegan Ginger Molasses Cookies

[sialiaskitchen]

Easy and slow warm, gooey soft Molasses Cookies

Blend in a glass :

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

4 Tbs vegetable oil ( light olive is best)

2 Tbs molasses

2 Tbs white sugar

In a separate bowl, mix:

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 Tbs Mochiko rice flour

1 tsp cinnamon

10 Tbs all purpose flour (that's a level half cup, plus 2 Tbs, which is an unusual measure, but the exact right amount.)

Then add the wet to the dry and stir until combined

Stir in 1/2 cup chopped dates.

Mixture should be just a little too gooey to handle. This is good. Cover the bowl, put it in the refrigerator and let it rest several hours.

Next day, make a small container of powdered sugar with some cinnamon. Drop a half Tbs spoonful of dough into the mixture, put on a tight fitting lid and shake the container until the dough ball is all covered in sugar and nice and round. Put the ball on a cookie sheet pan, then repeat until you have a pan full of dough balls. Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 8 min, and watch them carefully. They should spread a little, then just start to puff up and crack a little. If you leave them in until they fully puff up and dome they will be cakey instead of gooey inside. Still good, but I prefer them moister inside. Watch the last 30 seconds carefully.

This is what you are watching for. See that little glisten inside? perfection.

Let it cool at least a little-- the molten dates stay hotter than the cookie part.

I wanted to share a molasses cookie recipe my great grandma used to make all the time. I think the recipe is like 100 years old. She passed away several years ago, but I still make her cookies, especially around the winter time. Whenever we have family events or such, I usually make those cookies and it makes everyone pretty happy and reminds them of her. I'll post an image of the recipe too, as well as type it out. I hope others will enjoy it, the cookies are soft and chewy, and go good with like coffee and such.

Christmas gingerbread molasses cookies

[advoir]

Through pure scientific research, I have just discovered that not only is the impossible task of making a molasses cookie even more delicious achieved by means of cannabis consumption, the degree to which it tastes better corresponds directly with the degree to which I am inebriated. First application: a cure for insomnia. Goodnight.
