Soft Pumpkin Molasses Cookies

If you're looking for some super delicious and chewy treat, these Soft Pumpkin Molasses Cookies will definitely hit the right spot!

Ingredients

– 2 1/3 C of all-purpose flour – 2 tsp of baking soda – 1 tsp of cinnamon – 1 tsp of ground ginger – 1 tsp of sea salt – 1/4 tsp of ground cloves – 1 C of sugar – 1/2 C of pumpkin – 1/2 C of canola oil – 1/4 C of molasses – 1 tbsp of flax meal – 2 tsp of vanilla extract – 2 tbsp of turbinado sugar (or other coarse sugar) (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (176 degrees C). Lightly oil a large baking sheet. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and cloves. Mix well. Set aside.

In a second medium bowl, whisk together sugar, pumpkin, oil, molasses, flax meal, and vanilla until smooth and uniform. Add dry ingredients to wet and stir until just combined.

The dough will probably be a bit sticky. If so, wet your hands with water to prevent sticking and roll heaping tablespoons of dough into balls. Place on a baking sheet, leaving a couple of inches of space between each. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.

Bake for 12-14 minutes or until cookies are set but not hard.

Remove from the oven. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 or 6 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
