Best Low Cal Molasses Cookies Recipes
GLUTEN-FREE MOLASSES COOKIES
The best gluten-free molasses cookies are soft and chewy, filled with the flavors of cinnamon, ginger and cloves, dipped in sugar, and, of course, gluten free! These cookies taste just like classic molasses cookies but use Betty Crocker™ All-Purpose Gluten Free Rice Flour Blend, a great all-purpose substitution for wheat-based flour. This recipe makes almost 50 cookies, enough to bring to a holiday cookie exchange or perfect for enjoying them at home and freezing the leftovers for later.

CHOCOLATE-MOLASSES COOKIES
All you need to shape this dead simple dough are your hands (and maybe a helper or two). Decidedly more "grown up" in flavor - both the molasses and cocoa give bitter notes that play off the spiciness of the fresh ginger - the cookies are tiny in size by design to complement their intensity. For rolling, any coarse decorative sugar works, as would Demerara or an unrefined sugar.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Melt butter in a small pot over medium heat and add ginger, if using. Remove from heat and let sit a few minutes while you prepare everything else.
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, molasses, egg and ginger butter. Using a spatula, slowly mix into dry ingredients, mixing until no dry spots remain.
- Using your hands, roll small balls of dough about the size of a quarter (dough will be soft - if it is too soft for you to handle, pop into the fridge for a few minutes to firm up). Roll the balls in the sanding sugar and place on the prepared baking sheets about 1-inch apart.
- Bake until just puffed and baked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool completely before eating.
