Ingredients
- 1 egg white
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 1/4 cup Gluten Free Oat Flour *
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon + more topping
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine egg white, molasses, vanilla extract, salt and sugar. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate smaller bowl, sift together the oat flour, baking soda, cinnamon and cream of tartar. Add one tablespoon of the flour to the liquid and gently fold to combine. Then add melted coconut oil (this prevents it from hardening) and mix to combine. Continue adding 2 tablespoons of the flour to the batter and folding until it is fully incorporated into the batter.
- Place batter in the refrigerator 20 minutes to chill. Then remove and drop 1 tablespoon of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Do not make them any larger as they do spread thin. You need to form the batter into the shape of cookie, pressing them together and up a bit with your hands. The batter will spread quite a bit and thin during baking so do not make them too big. Keep them spaced out 3-4 inches on the baking sheet so they have room to grow and puff them up a bit with your hands before baking.
- Bake at 350 F 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with cinnamon for dusting.
- Transfer to a wire baking rack to cool 10 minutes then DEVOUR!
Notes
- The batter makes 12 BIG cookies. You could easily make 24 small cookies with this recipe. They are THIN cookies so that it is what you should expect.
- Measure the flour properly for baking or you will have a dough that's too thick.
