Soft and chewy and topped with cinnamon and sugar, they are a favourite in our house when we’re in a mood for break from our “healthy” desserts and just want to indulge. I created these cookies to copy the ones my children love at Starbucks, just smaller versions. Enjoy them with a big glass of almond milk or cup or tea.
Ginger Molasses Cookies
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp freshly grated ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 1/2 tsp powdered egg replacer (like Ener-G brand)
1/4 cup molasses
3/4 cups canola oil
topping: 1/4 cup sugar + 1 tsp cinnamon
Combine the egg replacer with 2 tbsp water, mix and set aside for a few minutes. Meanwhile, combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well. In a food processor, add the oil and molasses to the egg replacer and water and mix well. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture in the food processor and combine. If the dough is dry, add a small amount of water (a few teaspoons at a time) while the food processor is running, until the dough forms a ball.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Roll the dough into balls then dip one side into the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place cinnamon-sugar side up on grease cookie sheets, spacing them a few inches apart.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Allow to cool 5 minutes before removing from pans.

Oooh! These are my favourite kind of cookie! Bookmarking!
Mine too! Hope you like them.
I just had my first Ginger Molasses cookie on the weekend and I loved it. But there’s no molasses in them?
So glad you commented; how could I have not spotted my typo of omitting the molasses?! There is 1/4 cup of molasses in the recipe, as I have now updated. Thanks! Hope you like them.
Oh goodness! These look just perfect, I am so making these!
Thanks for visiting, I hope you like them!
Oh my word, those look amazing! I love ginger molasses cookies!
Thanks, Kristy!
My absolute favorite cookies made healthier, Love it!
Thank you!
tried these tonight (with slight mod because I don’t have an egg replacer) and they were super yum. I think I need a bit more ginger for my tastes but I think for most tastes this is perfect. They make great ice cream sammies with a nice vanilla just in case you were curious
Thanks for letting me know! I have made them into ice cream sandwiches too and loved them. Especially chocolate ice cream like Purely Decadent brand. Ginger and chocolate together are divine. Appreciate your comment!
