Soft Molasses Cookies
From peetabear 15 years agoIngredients
- 2 cups (8 1/2 ounces) King Arthur Unbleached all-purpose flour shopping list
- 1 teaspoon ginger shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg shopping list
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda shopping list
- 5 tablespoons (2 1/2 ounces) unsalted butter shopping list
- 1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) sugar shopping list
- 1/2 cup (6 ounces) molasses shopping list
- 1/3 cup (2 1/2 ounces) dark rum shopping list
How to make it
- Whisk together the flour, spices, salt and baking soda, and set aside. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar, then beat in the molasses. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the rum.
- Using a cookie or muffin scoop, scoop out round balls of dough somewhere in size between a ping-pong ball and a golf ball, and place the balls on a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet. Bake the cookies in a preheated 375°F oven for 11 to 12 minutes, until they crack on top but haven't yet browned around the edges. Yield: eighteen 3-inch cookies.

- To keep these cookies soft, we recommend storing them in an airtight container (a plastic bag is fine) as soon as they're just barely warm. Add a couple of slices of cut apple if you plan on keeping them around long.
