Molasses Cookie
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Molasses cookies blend wheat flour, molasses, spices, and butter into chewy baked shapes. The wheat flour introduces fructans, while molasses and spices remain low in FODMAPs. The dense texture delivers concentrated grains that require careful chewing. Most individuals can safely tolerate one to two standard cookies when portions are measured. Commercial varieties sometimes add high-fructose icing or polyols that need checking.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
The primary trigger in molasses cookies comes from the wheat flour used in the dough. You can safely recreate these treats using certified low-FODMAP baking flour and pure cane sugar. Always verify molasses sourcing to ensure it is not blended with high-fructose corn syrup. Store cookies airtight to maintain softness, which reduces chew time and minimizes swallowed air.
