These are fabulous-big and soft. I am posting this here since the book that the recipe is in is 3 inches square, and the kid likes to take the book and hide it. These are the best molasses cookies I've had. Ingredients:
12 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1 cup granulated sugar |
1/4 cup molasses |
1 egg |
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Melt the butter (I just put it in the microwave), and add sugar and molasses.
3. Lightly beat the egg (or use 1/4 cup eggbeaters) and add to the butter mixture, and blend well.
4. Sift the dry ingredients together, and add to the butter mixture(I use King Arthur Flour White Whole Wheat-it has the same texture of all-purpose).
5. It will look wet.
6. Line a cookie sheet with foil.
7. Drop the batter by tablespoons onto the foil, 3 inches apart.
8. Bake 8-10 minutes, until the cookes darken.
9. Remove foil from cookie sheet, and let the cookies cool on the foil.
