Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 and line two large metal baking sheets with parchment paper.
Add the butter, molasses, sugar and vanilla to a mixing bowl and use a hand mixer to beat on medium speed for about 60 seconds until creamed.
Add in the flours, spices, salt and baking soda and mix on low speed just until combined.
Use a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop and roll into balls. Drop into a bowl of coconut sugar and roll to coat. Transfer to the baking sheet, spacing 2" apart. Bake for 7-8 minutes - mine were perfect at 7 minutes. They will look very puffy and underbaked, but trust me, they will be perfect!
Let them rest for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
