CHEWY GINGER MOLASSES COOKIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and salt. Set aside.
• Using a separate mixing bowl, either with a stand mixer or a hand mixer, cream together the softened butter and sugars on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy and a pale yellow color, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides occasionally as needed. Mix in the eggs (one at a time) and molasses, and beat on medium-low speed until each is combined. Gradually add in the dry ingredient mixture and beat until it is evenly incorporated.
• Transfer the dough to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the dough is completely chilled.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper; set aside.
• Roll the dough into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter. Fill a separate small bowl with sugar, and roll each ball in the sugar until it is completely coated. Place dough balls on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for about 8-10 minutes, until the cookies begin to slightly crack on top. (They will crack more while cooling.) Remove from the oven and let cool for 4-5 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
• Serve warm and enjoy, or store in a sealed container for up to 4 days. Or freeze for up to 3 months.

GINGER MOLASSES COOKIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and white pepper, if using.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth.
• Add the egg and yolk one at a time, whisking after each addition.
• Add the vanilla and molasses and whisk until smooth.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently fold with a flexible spatula to combine. Place the dough in the refrigerator until it has a scoopable texture, or about 20 to 30 minutes.
• Scoop the dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon balls using a small ice cream scoop or measuring spoons.
• Roll each ball in granulated sugar and place on the prepared cookie sheets, about 12 balls per sheet. Place the sheets in the freezer to firm up for about 30 minutes to an hour. This will prevent the cookies from spreading when baked.
• Roll the cookie balls in granulated sugar again for extra sparkle. Bake for about 12 minutes until the tops are cracked and the cookies are slightly puffy. Once removed from the oven, flatten each cookie lightly with a spatula. Serve warm or cold.
