Cinnamon Spice And Everything Nice Cookies
From dancegypsy67 17 years agoIngredients
- 1 1/2 cup butter (calls for shortening in the recipe) shopping list
- 2 cups sugar shopping list
- 2 eggs shopping list
- 2 tbsp vanilla extract shopping list
- 1/2 cup molasses (I used a full-flavor dark, the recipe calls for light) shopping list
- 4 cups all-purpose flour shopping list
- 4 tsp baking soda shopping list
- 2 tsp salt shopping list
- 2 tsp ground nutmeg shopping list
- 2 tsp ground ginger shopping list
- 1 pkg cinnamon chips, 10 oz shopping list
- 1 cup white sugar, for decoration shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 2 cups of sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and molasses. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and ginger. Stir into the sugar mixture until well blended. Mix in cinnamon chips. (Dough will be stiff.) Roll into walnut sized balls and roll each ball in the remaining sugar. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto a ungreased cookie sheet and flatten slightly.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the oven, or until tops are crackled. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- (3/5/12: in this installment of "let's change the whole recipe", I made a half batch and substituted allspice and galangal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galangal) for the nutmeg and ginger. Kept the butter and dark molasses changes noted above.)

You know, I love spiced cookies and with the cinnamon chips - these are so over the top appealing. I am saving your recipe for my autumn-winter cookie baking extravaganza. Thanks so much, Paula! :) Vickie
