Soft Spicy Molasses Cookies Recipes

SOFT SPICY MOLASSES COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients.
• Beat at low speed until well mixed, about 3 minutes.
• Cover and chill until firm, about 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Shape rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into 1-inch balls.
• Roll in sugar.
• Place 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet or on parchment paper.
• Bake 10-12 minutes or until slightly firm to the touch.
• Remove to wire racks to cool.

CHEWY GINGER MOLASSES COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, cloves and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until well combined, about 3 minutes. Add the molasses and egg and beat until lighter in color, about 3 minutes. Add the flour mixture and mix on low until well blended.
• Using a tablespoon, form the dough into 1-inch balls and roll in sugar. Place each ball 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden and crackled, 12 to 15 minutes; the cookies will still be a little soft. Baking these in 3 batches one sheet at a time gets you the nice, crackly top. The second sheet of cookies can stay on the counter until ready to bake. Form the remaining dough, roll the balls in sugar and place on the now cooled first baking sheet. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, and then remove to a rack to cool completely.

• I changed the amount of salt in here. My original recipe calls for 1 tsp of salt but that may be too much for some. A few people have made it as is (the majority) with no complaints on salt, however a few commented it was too much. I think 1/2 tsp can be used with no alterations to the recipe. I will leave it up to you either way you still WIN !
