Ingredients
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 tsp. Ener-G® Egg Replacer + 1 Tbs. warm water or 1 large egg white
- 3 Tbs. Blackstrap Molasses
- 3/4 cup stemmed finely chopped figs (may also use dates -not dried- here)
- 1 1/2 cups gfJules™ All Purpose Gluten Free Flour
- 1 tsp. ginger ground
- 1 tsp. cinnamon ground
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder gluten-free
- 1/8 tsp. fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips Enjoy Life® is gluten, soy, dairy & nut-free, optional
- 1/4 cup peanut butter chips optional
- 1/2 cup Demerara sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Beat brown sugar and oil until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together Ener-G Egg Replacer and water, or the egg white. Add to the brown sugar mixture, together with the molasses. Stir in the chopped figs to incorporate.
- Whisk together dry ingredients in a separate bowl (including chocolate and/or peanut butter chips, if using). Slowly stir into the molasses mixture. The dough will be thick and taffy-like when combined.
- Pinch off tablespoon-sized pieces of dough, and roll in your hands to form a ball. Roll in the Demerara sugar (you may use regular granulated sugar instead, but the sugar will be absorbed into the cookies more than those pictured here).
- Place rolled and sugared balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. The cookies will not spread much, if any, so they can be placed only 1-2 inches apart. Bake in center rack of preheated oven for 9 minutes. The cookies may have cracked slightly and be crispy at the edges, but they should still be soft and cake-like in the centers.
- Cool on a wire rack before serving.
- Yield: 2 ½ – 3 dozen cookies.
