Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 c melted butter
2 c sugar
1/2 c dark molasses
2 large eggs, beaten
4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
4 c all purpose flour
1/2 c sanding sugar (raw sugar)

Steps:

  • 1. Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl. Mix in the sugar and the molasses. Let it cool on the counter. Mix the eggs in a cup. Wait for the butter mixture to cool so it won't cook the eggs.
  • 2. Add the eggs and and stir in well. Then add in the spices, salt, soda.
  • 3. Add the flour in 1 cup increments, mixing well after each addition. The dough will be stiff at this point. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Overnight is better.
  • 4. Preheat oven to 350*F. Rack in the center of oven. I use a walnut sized scoop (2 Tbs.) and drop into sanding sugar, roll around and put 12 cookies per greased cookie sheet. I use parchment paper. Bake 10-12 min. The cookies will flatten out by themselves as they bake. Move to cooling rack to cool completely.
  • 5. The cookies freeze well also. Wrap in foil and place in a freeze bag. They'll be fine for 3 months or so. If you freeze the balls don't roll in sugar until you are ready to bake.

I'm not a big fan of molasses, but I actually really liked these crackles. They're not too sweet and they have a nice crunch.
