Rolling the dough in sugar is what makes the top of the cookie crack during baking.
2/3 c. olive oil/lite olive oil
1 c. organic sugar
1-2 T water.
1/4 c. blackstrap molasses
2 c. whole wheat flour (I like to use sprouted whole wheat flour)
1 T ground flax seed
2 tsp soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 t. cinnamon
1 tsp. ginger
1/4 c. organic sugar for dipping
Mix oil and sugar thoroughly. Add the 1 – 2 T. water and molasses and mix well.
Sift dry ingredients together and add to the wet mixture.
Form cookie dough into a small ball and roll into the sugar. Place onto a lightly greased cookie sheet.
Bake 350* for 7-8 minutes (be careful not to over bake) just until tops begin to crack.
I was planning to get an after shot of the cookie… but they were eaten in record time… maybe next time! =)Linda
