Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 30

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups (spooned and leveled) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 large egg
1/4 cup light unsulfured molasses
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons light unsulfured molasses
2 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat sugar and butter until combined. Beat in egg, then molasses, until smooth. On low speed, gradually add flour mixture until a dough forms.
  • Drop rounded measuring teaspoonfuls of dough onto 2 ungreased (or parchment-lined) baking sheets, about 1 1/2 inches apart.
  • Bake until centers are dry to the touch, 12 to 15 minutes; rotate pans from top to bottom and front to back halfway through. Cool 1 minute on baking sheets; then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • Make Creamy Molasses Filling: Whisk butter with molasses until smooth. Gradually whisk in confectioners' sugar; whisk until smooth and spreadable. Makes 1 1/2 cups.
  • Spread a rounded measuring teaspoonful of Creamy Molasses Filling on the flat side of a cookie; place another cookie on top, and gently press. Repeat until all cookies are filled. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 day, or refrigerate up to 3 days (cookies may soften during refrigeration).
