My easy recipe for healthier Chewy Molasses Spice Cookies has all the cozy warmth you expect from this holiday classic but adds a sneaky dose of fiber.
Preheat the oven to 350°. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the coconut sugar, avocado oil, molasses, eggs, and maple extract. Set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves until combined.
Slowly fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix until well combined and you have a uniform ball of cookie dough.
Form the dough into 1.5 inch balls, then roll in coarse sugar (if using). Place on a lined cookie sheet and flatten slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-14 minutes. Allow to cool, then serve!
