Molasses Cookies
Molasses Cookies are filled with the warm fall flavors of cinnamon, ginger, clove and molasses. They are crispy on the edges, soft and chewy on the inside.
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups butter softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1/2 cup dark molasses
- 4.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup granulated or coarse sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two large baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper and set aside.
- Cream together butter and sugar in a large mixer. Beat in molasses and eggs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix well.
- Pour ¾ cup granulated or coarse sugar into a small bowl or pie pan. Shape cookie dough into 2-inch balls and roll in sugar. Place cookie dough balls at least 2-inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake 13-15 minutes or until the tops are beginning to crack.
- Cool on cookie sheets for 2 minutes before transferring cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
The dough will make roughly 2 dozen cookies, but this depends on how big you make each ball.
You can make them bigger or smaller, just remember to adjust the bake time accordingly.
