I came up with these cookies today when J said he wanted cookies, but we didn't have any of the usual centerpiece ingredients - ginger, peanut butter, chocolate chips. I like them because they rely on just a few spices to really stand out, without the medley of standard "winter flavors" like cinnamon and nutmeg.
Cream together:
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup coconut oil
Add:
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
2 tsp vanilla x
Zest of 2 small oranges
Blend separately:
2 cups whole-wheat flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt (double if butter unsalted)
1/2 tsp ground cloves
Work dry mix into wet mix. Chill until workable without sticking to hands, ideally 30 minutes in fridge. Form into balls, roll in sugar, and place on cookie sheet. Bake at 350 F for 8-12 minutes, checking for tops to just start cracking. Makes about 30.
