Number Of Ingredients 16

6 Tablespoons (3 oz) butter or vegan alternative
5 Tablespoons coconut oil (room temperature) or vegetable shortening
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar or coconut palm sugar
1 large egg or 1/4 cup natural applesauce
1/4 cup molasses
2 cups (270 grams) gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
extra brown sugar for garnish

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cream butter, coconut oil/shortening and sugars for 2-3 minutes, until lighter and fluffy. Add egg or applesauce and molasses, beating until incorporated. In a separate bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients, then slowly stir into butter/sugar bowl. The dough will be taffee-like but not tight or dry. Scoop out by measured tablespoons onto prepared baking sheet leaving 2 inches between dough balls for spread. Bake for 13 minutes or longer for crunchier cookies.
