ROLLED MOLASSES SUGAR COOKIES

The trick to getting 'chewy' cookies is to bake them the minimum time necessary and then cool them directly on a surface (i.e. - counter, table, etc). Don't cool them on a rack! You can also store them with a slice of apple.

Time 25m

Yield 72 cookies, 72 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pint lard
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ginger
2 tablespoons baking soda
1 pint molasses
1 cup cold water (, or coffee)
6 -8 cups flour

Steps:

  • If you want to use vegetable shortening instead of lard, increase the amount by 1/2 cup I have never done this.
  • (I add cinnamon too).
  • Cream lard, sugars; add eggs, salt, spices, and baking soda.
  • Add molasses and beat well, add water slowly.
  • Stir in enough flour to make a dough stiff enough to roll.
  • (I chill dough for a few hours) Roll 1/4 inch thick (or thicker if you want cake-y cookies) and you may sprinkle with extra sugar.
  • Cut cookies, place on ungreased cookie sheets, bake in a 400 oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • They are done when you can press down with a finger and leave a dent.
  • Cool on wire racks.
  • I prefer to gauge doneness by looking at the underside of the cookie and seeing how brown it is.
  • If you want a cake-y cookie, don't let the cookies get dark browned, you want them golden, dark tan.
  • Baking time will vary with the size of your cookies too.
  • Small ones take a lot less time to bake.

Tips:

  • Choose the right molasses. There are three main types of molasses: light, dark, and blackstrap. Light molasses is the mildest and sweetest, while dark molasses is stronger and more bitter. Blackstrap molasses is the thickest and most robust of the three. For these cookies, use light or dark molasses.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly cookies. Bake the cookies just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

These rolled molasses cookies are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be decorated with a variety of frostings and sprinkles. Whether you are a seasoned baker or a beginner, you are sure to love these cookies.
