Molasses Cookies

My kids LOVE molasses cookies.  It's the most requested cookie recipe in our house, after chocolate chip, of course!  They mix up super fast and make a pretty big batch... and they only need one egg (a plus when our hens arent laying enough eggs).

Molasses Cookies
makes 3 dozen

3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar

1/4 cup molasses
1 egg

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (we like 1 cup white, 1 1/2 cups whole wheat)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt

Sugar - I like raw sugar


In food process, cream butter and sugar.  Add molasses and egg.  Then add in remaining ingredients (except raw sugar).  Chill until firm.

Preheat oven to 350° F.  Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in sugar.  Place 2 inches apart on silpat lined cookie sheets.  Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.  Cool 1 minute before removing from cookie sheets.
