Author Notes
This recipe is made with a mixture of chickpea and oat flour, and I really enjoy the balance of lightness and nuttiness. The cookies are flavored with some gooey molasses, as well as ground ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. They’re perfect to serve after a heavy holiday meal. —Lindsey S. Love | Dolly and Oatmeal

Ingredients
-
3/4 cup
chickpea flour
-
3/4 cup
gluten-free oat flour
-
3/4 teaspoon
baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon
baking soda
-
3/4 teaspoon
fine sea salt
-
1 teaspoon
ground ginger
-
1/2 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
-
1/4 teaspoon
ground cloves
-
2 1/2 tablespoons
coconut oil, soft
-
3/4 cup
coconut sugar (or light brown sugar)
-
2 tablespoons
unsulphered blackstrap molasses
-
1
egg
-
1 teaspoon
pure vanilla extract
-
2 tablespoons
almond milk
-
large grain sugar, for sprinkling
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350° F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices; set aside. In another large bowl, cream the oil and sugar with an electric mixer, then beat in the molasses. Add the egg, vanilla, and milk, and beat until combined.
-
A little at a time, add the dry ingredients to the wet and combine with electric mixer on medium-low until all flour is combined and no lumps remain (batter will be thick and sticky at this point). Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes.
-
Remove the dough from refrigerator. Using a tablespoon measure, scoop balls of dough out onto prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie 2 inches apart. Bake for 16 to18 minutes, until they darken a bit and are fragrant.
-
Place cookies on a rack and let them cool before eating. Cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 or 4 days.
