- 2.25 cups butter flavored shortening 432g
- 3 cups sugar 576g
- 3/4 cup molasses
- 3 large eggs
- 6 tsp baking soda

Instructions
- In a small saucepan, over low heat, melt your shortening. Once it’s melted remove the pan from the burner and set aside to cool for about 30 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl or stand mixer add your sugar, molasses, egg and the shortening. Mix well.
- In another bowl sift all dry ingredients. Slowly add to the first mixture until well combined.
- Cover and chill overnight or at least 8 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
- Form cookie dough into a ball (40g per cookie) and roll into a small bowl of granulated sugar. Place all cookies onto a cookie sheet and bake 8-10 minutes. Remove them when the tops just start to crack.
- Let cool and dip or drizzle with white candy dipping chocolate.
Notes
Search Myfitnesspal or the Macrosfirst app for, "Stay Fit Mom Molasses Cookies" to log in your food diary.
The macros do not include the white chocolate. If adding and want to calculate in your macros, simple add some white dipping chocolate to your food diary separately.
Don't over cook your cookies! When unsure if they're done, I highly suggest just taking them out. A slightly undercooked cookie is much better than a crunchy cookie.
