Molasses.

Either you love it or hate it.

I love it and I am always looking for ways to get more calcium into the body. Did you know that blackstrap molasses has calcium?

Never mind the calcium. These cookies have a ton of other awesome ingredients.

Just take a look at that list. Begging to be made!

Molasses Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup grapeseed oil (or canola)
• 2 tbl of dark molasses
• 1/2 cup honey
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup almond meal
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup flaxseed meal
• 1/4 tsp powdered ginger
• 1 bag Ghirardelli 60% dark chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
2. Whisk together the oil, molasses, honey, eggs, and vanilla.
3. Add almond meal.
4. Then stir in flaxseed meal, flour, ginger, and chocolate chips. Combine well.
5. I made these babies big. Drop heaping spoonfuls onto your prepared baking sheet. (I use parchment, but you could grease it)
6. Bake 18-20 minutes.
7. Cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

They were moist, but not crumbly.

I loved these.

Plenty chocolatey.

The 10 year old My Foodie Call member did NOT like these.

The other two My Foodie Call kids loved these. I even got a compliment..woohoo.

Hmmmm, must be the pickiness factor.

We all have one. Do you have one family member that seems to reject things more than the other?
