Coconut Oil White Chocolate Molasses Cookies

The SOFTEST and chewiest molasses cookies you’ll ever have in your life! Coconut oil is the secret ingredient in these addicting white chocolate molasses cookies.

Is there honestly a cookie in the entire WORLD that’s better than a coconut oil cookie? My consensus is forever gonna be heck nooooooooo. Butter is great and all that but sometimes it’s just gotta take a backseat.

P.S. Jump on my coconut oil cookie bandwagon with this recipe.—it’s where the cookie magic all started.

P.P.S. My love for molasses cookies runs extremely deep, guys. Pair that with my weakness the great coconut oil cookie? I’m dead. Don’t even mention all that ridiculous white chocolate goodness. ??

Brutally honest fact: these are just those kinda cookies that don’t even make it to the cooling rack.

Alright! So following the base I use for every single one of my coconut oil cookies recipes, here’s the molasses cookies prep rundown. >>>

1. Make yo dough! It’s straight-forward and so easy, you could make it in your sleep. We use REAL molasses in the dough along with tons of spices to give these cookies that unmistakable molasses cookies flavor. Also, white chocolate. (!!)
2. Roll the dough and it’s chill time. I know, kinda a time-consuming bummer but it’s necessary for coconut oil cookies so they keep their thick, puffy texture and don’t spread into cookie pancakes while they bake.
3. Cookie bakin’ time! Pop ’em in the oven and 10-ish minutes later…

…your cookie dreams are officially complete. PLEASE eat these bad boys warm and either thank me or hate me later.

Spoiler alert: you will be thanking me. ??
