Soft Molasses Cookies

Soft Molasses Cookies

My grandma used to make me molasses cookies when I was little. They are my favorite. I tried some of the other recipes out there for them and all of them came out really hard, I like soft molasses cookies and want to stay on plan through this holiday season. So I had to see what I could figure out.

I had really good luck with my rolled sugar cookies from coconut flour and figured I would tweak that a bit to make the cookies I've been missing.

They came out yummy :)
Here's the recipe I used.
