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.
