Description

An oldie but a goodie, these soft molasses cookies will make your heart go pitter-patter.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Packed Brown Sugar
  • ¾ cups Shortening
  • ¼ cups Molasses
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 2-¼ cups Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Cloves
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ cups White Sugar

Preparation

Start by preheating the oven to 325ºF.

In the bowl of a mixer, beat the brown sugar, shortening, molasses and egg. Scrape the sides down and add remaining ingredients, minus the white sugar. Beat just until combined into a thick dough.

Using a cookie scoop or 2 teaspoons, measure dough and roll into little balls. Roll in the sugar and place on a baking sheet. I like to use a Silpat for all of my cookie making but if you don’t have one, place directly on the cookie sheet without greasing it. Be sure to place the cookies at least 2 inches apart as they do spread.

Bake for 11-15 minutes or just until they no longer look moist on top. I took mine out immediately at 11 minutes because I like them to be slightly underdone with a chewy texture.

Enjoy!

Recipe from Betty Crocker.
