THIN AND CRISPY SPICY MOLASSES COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325° F. (not fan assisted) with rack in centre of oven and prepare a baking sheet with parchment or a Silpat.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl using a hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until thoroughly incorporated. Beat in the molasses.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger, salt and ground cloves. With the mixer running, slowly add the dry ingredients to the mixture until completely incorporated.
• Spoon the batter into mounds (about 2 Tablespoons each) and place on prepared cookie sheet. Space the cookies at least 3 to 4 inches apart, as they will spread! I bake only 6 at a time on a half sheet pan.
• Baking time will vary depending on your oven, weight of your baking sheet and how you like your cookies (more crispy or more chewy). Check cookies regularly starting at 12 minutes and watch carefully. Cookies will puff up as they bake and then deflate in to a flat cookie. You want to leave them in the oven at least until they deflate. How much longer you bake after that will determine how crispy they'll be. Somewhere between 14-17 minutes is in the right range. If you like, you can rotate the pan front to back halfway through for even colouring.
• Allow cookies to sit on the baking sheet until they firm up enough to move to a cooling rack (about a minute or two). Cookies will firm up as they cool.

SPICY MOLASSES COOKIES BY BIJOUX

Steps:

• Add the egg and vanilla; beat until combined, about 30 seconds.
• Stir in the molasses. Beat until incorporated, about 30 seconds.
• Reduce speed to low and slowly mix in the dry ingredients until combined.
• Roll into 2 tablespoons sized balls, roll in sugar and place on parchment lined cookie sheet with plenty of space to spread out.
• Bake 10 minutes until the edges are set and the middles are soft and undone. Let cool on baking sheet until they are stabilized before transferring to a rack to cool.
• *Notes and tips from Bijoux*: " -I add some demera sugar to the regular sugar that I roll the cookies into. The demera gives that extra crunchy sparkle. Superfine sugar, not powdered, is also very pretty & keeps its whiteness with the dark cookie crackles, too.
• -This dough is really sticky, keep putting your hands in cold running water and keep hands dripping wet for the cookie ball rolling process.
• -I usually add more ginger than is called for.
• - Best if you cook these cookies one pan at a time in the middle of the oven so that the heat distributes evenly.
• - Yes, these cookies are really not fully cooked when pulled out of the oven. Don't overcook them! Eventually, they fall and get that wrinkly/crispy/chewy texture. Let cookies sit on the pan a few minutes before putting on a wire rack to cool. These are really tasty warm straight out of the oven, too.".
