"No butter, no white sugar, no problem. These are some of the softest and most flavorful cookies I've had in ages and remind me of Soft Batch Cookies, with a bolder flavor palette. They're sweetened entirely with dark brown sugar, and because it has a higher concentration of molasses as well as a bit of molasses added to the dough, these cookies are rich, deep and caramely, with molasses undertones. Those ingredients, and the secret ingredient - a bit of cornstarch - help the cookies stay soft for days and they actually get softer over time. The coconut oil flavors the dough very subtly, and although you can 'taste it', it's much milder and more subtle than coconut flakes, for example. If you've never tried baking with coconut oil and replacing it one-for-one with butter in cookies, this small batch recipe is a great place to start...."

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup coconut oil, softened (softened to the consistency of soft butter; not rock hard and not runny or melted, see below)
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
2 tablespoons vanilla extract (yes tablespoons, not teaspoons), or to taste
1 tablespoon unsulphered mild to medium molasses (use very dark or Blackstrap at your own risk because its very pungent and bitter for baking)

1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt, optional and to taste
