Time 1h20m

Yield 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

2/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar, plus sugar for dusting the cookies
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons blackstrap molasses
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground espresso
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Special equipment: an electric mixer with paddle attachment
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Use an electric mixer to cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk and molasses and mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, espresso, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, baking soda, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture. (The dough will be quite soft.)
  • Roll the dough into tight 1-inch round logs, wrap snugly in parchment paper or plastic wrap, and chill until firm (see Cook's Note*).
  • Unwrap the dough and slice into 1/4-inch rounds. Pour some sugar into a shallow dish. Press the top of each cookie into the sugar and then place cookies sugar side up on a parchment paper-lined sheet pan about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Do not over bake; the cookies will become "snappy" once they have cooled completely. Transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool for 5 minutes.
