Janet’s Gingerbread Whole Grain Cookies
3 cups whole spelt flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup organic whole cane unrefined sugar (Rapadura) OR Sucanat
1/2 cup blackstrap molasses
1 egg
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.In a separate mixing bowl, combine the coconut oil, butter, sugar, molasses, and egg. Add to the flour mixture and blend well to combine into a ball of dough. This step works really well if you have a stand up mixer, such as a KitchenAid.
Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour. Roll the dough with a rolling pin to 1/3″ thickness between two peices of wax paper. Cut out shapes using a cookie cutter (the heart shape works great) and place in the freezer on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper for about 12 minutes.
Bake at 325 degrees F for 12 to 15 minutes.
