Hello my fitness friends. MERRY CHRISTMAS!! one of my favorite treats this time of year is molasses cookies. LOVE THEM!!! They are delicious and spicy and sweet. Here is my recipe. I have found a clean eating molasses cookie recipe that I will test and report. If its good I will post the recipe.
Soft Molasses Cookies
1 c sugar
1/2 c butter softened
1/2 c shortening
3/4 c sour cream (I subbed plain Greek yogurt this time and it worked perfect)
1/2 c molasses
1 egg
3 c flour
1 1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1 t ground ginger
1 t ground cinnamon
Heat oven 375*
Cream butter, shortening, and sugar. Add sour cream (yogurt), molasses, and egg. Mix dry ingredients in separate bowl and add in thirds to wet ingredients. Careful to not over mix, but blended completely. Drop by TBS onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 9-11 minutes or until almost no indentation remains when touched in center. Cool slightly on cookie sheet then transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with sugar while hot from oven if desired.
These cookies are total comfort food, not diet conducive, and are little pieces of molasses heaven. Happy holidays my wonderful friends.
