1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup solid vegetable shortening

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 C all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 C solid vegetable shortening
1 1/2 C granulated sugar, plus 1/4 C to roll in before baking
1 large egg
1/4 C unsulfured molasses

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375. Line baking sheets with Silpats; set aside. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, and salt; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine shortening and sugar. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg and molasses, and beat to combine. Add dry ingredients, and beat on low to combine. 3. Place 1/4 C sugar in a small bowl. Using a 1 1/2 inch ice-cream scoop (small), form balls of dough. Roll dough balls between the palms of your hands until smooth. Roll in sugar. Place about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake until the cookies are set in the center and begin to crack about 7 minutes, rotating the baking sheets once after 2 minutes. Transfer the baking sheets to a wire rack to cool, 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to rack until completely cool. Store in an airtight container up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of flours: Experiment with different types of flours to create unique flavors and textures. Whole wheat flour, oat flour, and almond flour are all great options.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the crisps tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps it to firm up and makes it easier to roll out. If you don't have time to chill the dough, you can place it in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  • Bake the crisps until they are golden brown: The crisps are done baking when they are golden brown around the edges. Keep a close eye on them to prevent them from burning.
  • Let the crisps cool before enjoying: Allow the crisps to cool for a few minutes before enjoying them. This will help them to crisp up.

Conclusion:

Molasses spice crisps are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or dessert. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a holiday party. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of delicious molasses spice crisps that everyone will love.
