Molasses Cookies
¾ cup unsalted butter melted
1 cup white sugar, plus extra for rolling
1 egg
⅓ cup dark molasses
2 ¼ cups all purpose flour (measured by scoop and leveling)
2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon powdered ginger
A few notes on making these:
- this dough, like the chocolate crinkle cookies, needs time to chill so plan accordingly
Instructions:
- In a large stand mixer combine the butter, sugar, egg and molasses. Mix for a minute or two until well combined.
- Combine the flour, cloves, ginger cinnamon and baking soda and sift together.
- Slowly add the flour mixture to the molasses mixture and mix until evenly combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Once chilled, scoop 2 tablespoons of dough at a time and roll into balls. Roll them around in a small cup of sugar and set onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes.
