These are the real deal, the chewy crispy goes-to-your-head molasses cookie that you can't buy. Each one calls to the next. Crackled brown tops with sugar crystals...
Ingredients
- 3/4 c butter shopping list
- 1 c sugar shopping list
- 1/4 c molasses shopping list
- 2 T honey shopping list
- 1 egg shopping list
- 2 t baking soda shopping list
- 2 1/4 c flour shopping list
- 1/4 t ground cloves shopping list
- 3/4 t ground ginger shopping list
- 1 1/2 t cinnamon shopping list
How to make it
- Melt butter.
- Mix in sugar, molasses, and honey. Beat very well.
- Add egg. Beat very well. Mixture will be rather runny.
- Add baking soda, flour and spices and mix thoroughly.
- Chill dough at least 15 m.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Shape dough into balls the size of small walnuts and roll in sugar.
- Place on greased/silpat/parchment paper lined baking sheet about 2" apart.
- Bake at 350 degrees 7-8 minutes, rotating the cookie sheet halfway through.
- Take out of the oven when they have puffed and the tops are set--do not overbake!! Cool 2-5 min on the cookie sheet, then remove to a cooling rack. If they are too hard, bake in a cooler oven, say 340, or watch them more closely. If they are too cakey, use 2 T less flour (next time, obviously).
- Store in an airtight container. The butter will keep them from sticking to each other :--)
