Molasses Cookies
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup white sugar plus extra for rolling
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup dark molasses
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, 1 cup sugar, egg, and molasses until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up. Overnight is fine.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Form the chilled dough into 1-inch balls, roll each ball in the extra sugar to coat, and place on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, 20-30 minutes.
