Description

I mixed and modified my two favorite cookie recipes several years ago and came up with this. It’s a favorite wherever I take them.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cups Butter
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar (I Use Large Grain Sugar)
  • ⅓ cups Black Strap Molasses
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 2 cups Flour (I Use 50/50 Wheat/white)
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Cloves
  • 1-½ teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Grated Fresh Ginger
  • Extra Sugar, To Roll The Cookies In

Preparation

Melt butter in a pan over low heat. Remove from heat, pour into mixing bowl, and let cool.

Add sugar, molasses, and egg to butter and beat well.

Put all remaining ingredients into a sifter and sift into first mixture.

Mix well then let chill in fridge for 20 minutes.

Form dough into 1 inch balls, roll in sugar (I used “sugar in the raw”), and place on ungreased cookie sheet – 12 to a sheet.

Bake in a 375 degree oven for 8-10 minutes.

Let cool on sheets for easy removal.

Makes 6 dozen when doing 1 inch balls. I made 1/2-inch balls and got 8 dozen. I baked them for 9 minutes and they were crunchy on the outside but still soft on the inside.

These cookies are absolutely fantastic….The sugar in the raw that you roll them in before baking makes the cookies have a little “crunch”!!
