Molasses Cookies

December 12, 2013 by Kay Leave a Comment

Day 4 of the Twelve Days of Christmas Treats features Molasses Cookies. These are my hubby Bill’s favorite cookie. He told me last week he remembers making Molasses Cookies with his Mom, Lorna and sister, Kathy. Bill remembers Lorna shaping the cookie’s into a ball and rolling the cookie in sugar, then he or Kathy would “smash” the cookie to flatten it a bit with a glass before they were baked.

I love sharing Christmas memories and traditions. Do you have any special memories or traditions in your family? Maybe something that dates back to your childhood or a new tradition you have started? I would love to hear your answers, please leave a comment below.

Molasses Cookies

Yield: Approx. 24 Cookies

Molasses Cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1-3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup plus 1/3 cup sugar, divided
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup molasses

Instructions

  • In small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, & ginger; set aside. In medium bowl, with mixer on low speed, blend together the melted butter, 1 cup sugar, and egg until smooth. Stir in molasses. With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture to molasses mixture; mix until completely combined. Cover and chill dough in refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll dough into walnut sized balls (use cookie scoop, if available); roll each ball in remaining sugar. Place 2 inches apart on parchment lined baking sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes just until tops are cracked all over, but cookies are still a bit gooey inside the center cracks. Cool on wire racks.
