Provided by Ali

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened to room temperature (not melted*)
1 cup granulated (white) sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup unsulphured molasses
2 eggs
4 1/2 cups (639 grams) all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking soda*
1 tablespoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and salt. Set aside.
  • Using a separate mixing bowl, either with a stand mixer or a hand mixer, cream together the softened butter and sugars on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy and a pale yellow color, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides occasionally as needed. Mix in the eggs (one at a time) and molasses, and beat on medium-low speed until each is combined. Gradually add in the dry ingredient mixture and beat until it is evenly incorporated.
  • Transfer the dough to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the dough is completely chilled.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Roll the dough into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter. Fill a separate small bowl with sugar, and roll each ball in the sugar until it is completely coated. Place dough balls on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for about 8-10 minutes, until the cookies begin to slightly crack on top. (They will crack more while cooling.) Remove from the oven and let cool for 4-5 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Serve warm and enjoy, or store in a sealed container for up to 4 days. Or freeze for up to 3 months.

SOFT MOLASSES COOKIES



Soft Molasses Cookies image

I've tried a lot of molasses cookies since I was a girl on the farm, and as far as I'm concerned, these are simply the best. To keep them soft and chewy, store in a tightly covered container along with a slice of raw apple. These cookies freeze beautifully, too...if you can keep them away from "snitchers" long enough to get them in the freezer!

CHEWY MOLASSES-SPICE COOKIES



Chewy Molasses-Spice Cookies image

The holidays wouldn't be complete without a jar of these spice cookies.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 36

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1/4 cup molasses

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a shallow bowl, place 1/2 cup sugar; set aside.
  • With an electric mixer, beat butter and remaining cup of sugar until combined. Beat in egg and then molasses until combined. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in dry ingredients, just until a dough forms.
  • Pinch off and roll dough into balls, each equal to 1 tablespoon. Roll balls in reserved sugar to coat.
  • Arrange balls on baking sheets, about 3 inches apart. Bake, one sheet at a time, until edges of cookies are just firm, 10 to 15 minutes (cookies can be baked two sheets at a time, but they will not crackle uniformly). Cool 1 minute on baking sheets; transfer to racks to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients blend together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Use a cookie scoop to drop the dough onto the baking sheet. This will help the cookies be uniform in size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking can make the cookies dry.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
