Not ideal for Vitamix
I adore my Vitamix and have used one for over 23 years. But this recipe is not what a Vitamix is good for. Half of that sticky, egg-and-molasses mixture will adhere to the bottom and sides of the cannister and be wasted, and scraping it out will be a real pain. It is much more appropriate to use the Vitamix when there is more liquid in the recipe. When I make sauce for Indian dishes, for example, I reserve 2/3 of the water required for the recipe. I use 1/3 for the initial blend, pour out the mixture, scraping well. Then I rinse the Vitamix on high speed twice, each time using 1/3 of the reserved water, to remove every last bit of the delicious spices. Nothing is wasted.

Nutritarian Version?
The idea of nutritarian cookies is in itself absurd... but in the spirit of the holidays, I'd like to see what would happen with 1/2 whole wheat flour, 1/2 whole wheat pastry flour, and substituting dates for the molasses and sugar. Will try it and re-contribute.

Easy Recipe
I followed the advice of the reviewer below and made up the wet ingredients in a saucepan by first melting the butter then adding the molasses and sugar, adding the egg to the dry ingredients. The mixture came out far too wet so I had to add more dry ingredients. So technically this is not a Vitamix recipe but it is a good one, nonetheless.
