For the cookies in the picture, I rolled them in a mix of coconut sugar and Truvia. I have only made this recipe as is, so I am not sure how it would work substituting other ingredients. I have not made with recipe without molasses, but I don't recommend it because that is what will give these cookies their "ginger cookie" taste! I know that coconut sugar is still sugar and regular white sugar can be used in it's place for this recipe.
