Molasses Carob Chip Cookies image

A rich-tasting natural alternative to the usual peanut-butter chocolate chip cookie, this recipe calls for natural sweeteners and whole grains in place of refined white flour and white sugar. You'll find these ingredients in the natural food aisle of large grocery stores or your local health food store, and buy organic wherever possible. YOU are worth the effort to collect these ingredients and try this cookie! Substitute cashews or peanuts for almonds, if desired.

½ cup butter, room temperature
¼ cup molasses

1 egg
1 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
