These cookies are light, slightly chewy with a coating of powdered sugar that gives them the perfect touch! My family absolutely loves them! Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter (room temperature-no substitutions) |
1/2 granulated sugar |
1/8 cup molasses |
1 egg |
1 cup all purpose flour |
1/8 teaspoon baking soda |
pinch of salt |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves |
1 tablespoon flaxseed meal (or ground flax seed) |
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar (approximately) |
Directions:
1. In large bowl, beat together butter, sugar & molasses on medium speed until blended.
2. Beat in egg until blended.
3. Add in baking soda & salt & blend.
4. Add ginger, cinnamon & cloves & blend.
5. Add flour & blend.
6. Add flax seed meal & blend.
7. Refrigerate dough 1 hour.
8. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
9. Lightly coat baking sheet with vegetable oil (I use a light olive oil).
10. Place confectioners' sugar in small bowl.
11. Roll pieces of dough into small balls (approximately 1 ).
12. Roll dough into confectioners' sugar to completely coat.
13. Transfer to baking sheet & space at least 2 apart.
14. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes or until cookies have expanded and flattened.
15. Tops of cookies will be cracked & confectioners' sugar will still be visible.
16. Let cookies cool on baking sheet on wire rack for 2 minutes.
17. Transfer cookies directly to racks & let cool completely.
18. Cookies can be stored in airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week (I've never had any last that long around my house!)
19. Makes approximately 3 dozen cookies.
