Are you past your due date and looking for an alternate method to {maybe} induce labor? This recipe is said to induce labor for those who are triggered by spice! Even if a labor inducing cookie doesn’t actually induce you, at least you have an excuse to eat some cookies! You can read stories of how this worked to induce labor here! This recipe comes from the Food Network’s Gale Gand.
Although it’s not in the original recipe, I like to throw in some chocolate chips. Because chocolate. These are my favorite chocolate chips.
Here are some health benefits of dark chocolate:
A 100 gram bar of dark chocolate with 70-85% cocoa contains (1):
- 11 grams of fiber.
- 67% of the RDA for Iron.
- 58% of the RDA for Magnesium.
- 89% of the RDA for Copper.
- 98% of the RDA for Manganese.
- It also has plenty of potassium, phosphorus, zinc and selenium.
Another study revealed that eating chocolate 2 or more time per week lowered the risk of having calcified plaque in the arteries by 32%. Eating chocolate less frequently had no effect. See? Science!!

Why not blackstrap
Blackstrap molasses has a sugar content of just 45%. It also has a whopping 1% of your daily sodium content in every spoonful. For those reasons, it shouldn’t be used in place of molasses unless a recipe specifically calls for blackstrap by name. Hope that helps!
