CINNAMON-FREE MOLASSES SUGAR COOKIES

Before you ask what I did with the cinnamon, I replaced it with nutmeg. There is almost no change to the taste of the cookie overall. If you like the recipe, but really miss the cinnamon, just change it out with the nutmeg (but I liked it better without the cinnamon).

  • Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 8-10 minutes.

Categories     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup dairy-free shortening
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup molasses
2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar, for coating

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together shortening, brown sugar, applesauce, and molasses until well combined.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Slowly add flour mixture to shortening mixture; mix until combined. Transfer dough to refrigerator and let chill for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Using your hands, form dough into 1-inch balls. Place granulated sugar in a shallow dish; roll each ball in sugar. Place on prepared baking sheet and sprinkle a few drops of water onto each ball using your fingers.
  • Transfer baking sheet to oven and bake until lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cookies cool completely on baking sheet before serving.

Tips:

  • Use dark molasses for a richer flavor, and light molasses for a milder flavor.
  • If you don't have blackstrap molasses, you can substitute an equal amount of dark molasses and add 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves.
  • If the dough is too soft to handle, chill it for 30 minutes before rolling out.
  • To make sure the cookies are evenly baked, rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

These cinnamon-free molasses sugar cookies are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for the holiday season. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their chewy texture and sweet and spicy flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
