My husband loves molasses cookies, and I tried several recipes before I found this one at Cookie Recipes Online. Make sure not to overbake these cookies so that they stay soft and chewy. My family likes to have these with some flavored coffee during the holiday season.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar shopping list
- 3/4 cup softened unsalted butter shopping list
- 1 large egg shopping list
- 3/4 cup unsulfured blackstrap molasses shopping list
- 2 3/4 cup flour shopping list
- 1 teaspoon baking soda shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground ginger shopping list
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon shopping list
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice shopping list
- 1 tsp vanilla extract shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom (optional) shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees and lightly grease the cookie sheets. In a large bowl cream together the brown sugar and butter until creamy. Beat in the egg and molasses until light and creamy.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add the dry ingredients slowly to the butter mixture.
- Drop by teaspoonsful onto the prepared sheets 2 inches apart (I like to sprinkle with some sugar before baking) and bake for 8-10 minutes or until set. Cookies should not brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Store in an airtight container, or wrap well and freeze.

Great cookie!! With summer coming, I go a bit beyond the norm with this recipe. Please see alteration, but you do NOT have to change this cookie. Perfect by itself.

My family enjoyed these a lot, but I do think the amount of molasses was little much for us. I ended up making a frosting for on top and that helped out so much, made them perfect :) Spices were spot on, and they were gone quick! Added a full rev...more
