Clean Gingersnap Cookies

A recipe I mentioned in this post as I was reflecting on the difference between our life in Korea and life in the states. These aren't terrible for your health (physical health that is, you may have to struggle to keep your sanity...) and are a suitable replacement for someone looking for that gingersnap taste without the refined sugar or butter.

Donnaven's Clean Eating Gingersnap Cookies Made in Korea

- 1/4 C coconut oil, melted
- 3/4 C honey
- 1 egg
- 3 heaping tbsp. molasses
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 C oat flour (run whole oats through food processor)
- 1/4 C coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp. ginger
- 1/2 heaping tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. cloves

1. First figure out how to preheat your Easy Bake miniature oven to 175 or 180* C because that's about the closest we can get to 350* F. Because, you know, Korea. Try not to get too frustrated that the directions are in hangugeo.

2. Next, add wet ingredients, coconut oil, honey, egg, molasses, vanilla, together in a bowl and mix with a whisk. (No Kitchen Aid here, we're doing it Korea style! ...Unless you have a Kitchen Aid, than please go for it.)

3. In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients, oat flour, coconut flour, salt, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves. Combined with wet ingredients and mix well. The batter will be wet. Don't freak out.

4. Wait for your oven to heat up and start beeping incessantly at you. Talk to Yell at it.

5. Spoon cookie mixture onto your miniature cake pan covered in parchment paper, because alas, cookie sheets don't fit in your miniature oven. Put the cake pan in the miniature oven. Press the button to resume your oven heating because it turns off automatically when you open the door. We've made that mistake more than once. Bake for approximately seven minutes, give or take because remember, we're not right at 350*F. Remove the cookie sheet cake pan from the miniature oven. Transfer to cookie rack, if you can find a place to put it on your two and a half feet of kitchen counter space. Repeat step five until you don't ever want to bake cookies in Korea again.

PS. Don't forget that once you're done you'll have to hand wash all those dishes because dishwashers haven't been invented in Korea. Enjoy!
