Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons molasses
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Granulated sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. In an electric mixer, use the paddle attachment to combine butter and brown sugar; mix on high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add egg and molasses, and mix on medium speed until combined, about 20 seconds, scraping down the sides of the bowl once.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; add to butter mixture. Mix on low speed to combine, 20 seconds.
  • Using 2 spoons, drop 2 teaspoons of batter on a baking sheet; repeat, spacing them 3 inches apart. Bake for 5 minutes. Sprinkle tops of cookies with granulated sugar, rotate sheets between oven shelves, and bake 8 minutes more. Rotate sheets again and bake until cookies are just brown around the edges, about 6 minutes more. Slide parchment with cookies onto a wire rack; let cool for 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container.

I've made these cookies with different types of molasses, and they always turn out great. I've used light molasses, dark molasses, and even blackstrap molasses. They're all delicious.
