Sorghum Spice Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 ½ c all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ c unsalted butter, room temperature
- ¼ c vegetable shortening, organic
- ⅔ c brown sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ cup sorghum syrup
For topping
- ½ c raw sugar
Instructions
- To begin, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and spices in a bowl. Stir to combine and set it aside for now.
- In your mixing bowl, beat the butter, shortening, and brown sugar together until creamy.
- Beat in the egg and sorghum syrup.
- Add the dry ingredients to the cream mixture, half at a time, mixing it all in.
- Be sure to scrape the sides of bowl to mix well.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap or place it in a bowl with a lid. Put it in the fridge and chill 1 – 2 hours.
- Heat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Line your baking stone/sheet with parchment paper. Put the raw sugar in a small bowl, 1/2 a cup or so.
- Using a spoon or small scoop, scoop out about a rounded tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. (The ball of dough should be a bout the size of a ping pong ball.)
- Roll the ball in the raw sugar to coat it and place it on the baking stone/sheet.
- Bake the cookies for 9-10 minutes. They will crack slightly and still be somewhat soft.
- Let them cool a couple minutes before removing from the paper. Transfer them to a cooling rack and let them cool completely.
- TIP: Using a couple sheets of parchment paper makes this job very easy. I just use one baking stone and keep it in the oven. When one sheet is done, I slide the paper and cookies onto a cooling rack, and using another rack, slide the next batch right onto the stone. While one batch is baking, I can be preparing the other. It cuts down the time that the oven is on.
- Enjoy!
