Healthy Whole Wheat Molasses Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• preheat oven to 350°F.
• sift first four ingredients together.
• in another bowl, mix butter, molasses and vanilla, then add eggs.
• add sifted ingredients and whole wheat flour, thoroughly mix.
• add raisins and mix.
• drop a tsp about 2 inches apart and bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until lightly browned.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1 1/2 cups of sugar until smooth. Mix in the eggs, and then the molasses. Combine the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice, heaping the measures if you like a lot of spice. Stir the dry ingredients into the molasses mixture just until blended.
• Roll the dough into small balls, and dip the top of each ball into the remaining white sugar. Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on the cookie sheets.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops are cracked. Bake longer for crispy cookies, less time for chewy cookies. Cool on wire racks.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease an 8-by-4-inch or 9-by 5-inch loaf pan, preferably nonstick.
• If using buttermilk or yogurt, ignore this step. Make soured milk: warm milk gently -- 1 minute in the microwave is sufficient, just enough to take the chill off -- and add vinegar. Set aside.
• Mix together dry ingredients. Stir molasses into buttermilk, yogurt or soured milk. Stir liquid into dry ingredients (just enough to combine) then pour into loaf pan. Bake until firm and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cool on a rack for 15 minutes before removing from pan.
