Bear Mountain Spice Cookies Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Desertgypsy / All my dishes 1 year, 7 months ago I keep a “bottomless” cookie jar on the counter at work for guests and most days it’s hard keeping the jar full with these spice cookies. They are a big favorite and I keep copies of this recipe made to send home with guests. Prep:1530m Cook:16m Servings:1218	Desertgypsy

Ingredients

1/2 pound unsalted butter softened

4 Tablespoons molasses

1 cup sugar

1 large egg

1 Teaspoon vanilla

1 3/4 cups unbleached flour

1 Teaspoon baking soda

12 Teaspoon salt

1 Teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 1/2 Teaspoons ground ginger

1/2 Teaspoons ground cloves

1 Cup medium chopped wanuts or pecans

1/2 cup dried tart cherries

1/2 cup dried cranberries, or a cup of either

small bowl of cool water

small bowl sugar

Directions

Combine flour, baking soda, salt and spices in a bowl and set aside

With an electric mixer cream the butter, sugar and molasses

Add the egg and vanilla and mix well

Add the flour mixture, mixing well

Add nuts and berries mixing until incorporated

At this point you may either cover the mixing bowl or wrap the dough in plastic wrap then refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour

Remove dough from fridge and make into desired balls. I use different sizes of scoops depending on the size cookie I wish to make, 1-2 ounce.

Dip the tops of the cookie into cool water then sugar

Place on a lined with parchment paper or one that has been sprayed with pan coating

Bake n a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 16 minutes

Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire cooling rack

These cookies freeze well for months in a zip-loc bag

These sound incredible....How does the dough itself freeze?

The dough also freezes well. Somehow the prep time is incorrect and I am working on fixing it. It take approx 15 minutes to prepare and 30 minutes to chill. Hope you try these.....know that you'll enjoy!
