Indulge in this classic Molasses Cookies recipe! Warmly spiced with ginger & cinnamon, they're chewy, crackled, and perfect for any holiday gathering.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup molasses
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- Granulated sugar for rolling
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and egg until smooth. Blend in the molasses.
- In a separate medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up the dough.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Shape the chilled dough into 1-inch balls, roll them in granulated sugar to coat, and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tops are nicely cracked. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, approximately 30 minutes.
