Soft Molasses Cookies

Hmm, good soft molasses cookies. I would write healthy cookies, but as almost all the recipes in this blog, they are low in fat and sugar! A comforting snack during our long winter months.

Ingredients:

• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup butter (or coconut oil to try)
• 1/2 cup molasses
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)
• 1 tablespoon ground ginger (or less depending on your taste)
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 2 cup unbleached flour
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. In a medium bowl, beat with an electric mixer the first 8 ingredients by adding one by one in order.
3. Add and mix the flour and baking powder until well blended.
4. Spoon cookie on a plate lined with parchment paper.
5. Bake for about 15 minutes and remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.
