This page was started for my son, Elijah, who was born with a diaphragmatic hernia. He was given a 50% chance of survival. You can ready about his journey here. After already overcoming so many hurdles and currently fighting the Failure to Thrive diagnosis, we were shocked to learn about his allergy to dairy and eggs - his main source of calories. This site will chronicle our transition into a dairy and egg free home and the recipes we try along the way.

Molasses Cookies


2 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp ginger
3/4 cup margarine (Smart Balance Light)
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses

To replace egg:
1 tbsp flax seed
3 tbsp hot water

Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and ginger; set aside. 
In a medium bowl, beat margarine and sugar until fluffy.  Beat in molasses and egg (replacement).  Fold in flour mixture. 
Roll into 1 1/2" balls. 
Bake at 350 for 9-12 minutes. 

I rolled these into little dime sized balls so they were small enough for Elijah to enjoy and not make a huge mess. I also rolled them in powdered sugar (the more calories the better!). They are so yummy! I only cooked them for 4 minutes because they were so small and they were the perfect amount of soft and chewy.
