These have been a favorite since I was a little girl. I remember eating these in front of the TV watching "Romper room". The dough is quite soft, so I always put it in the fridge between baking batches for easier rolling.

EASY SUGAR AND SPICE COOKIES



Easy Sugar and Spice Cookies image

Grandma Flossie's time-tested, crowd-pleasing cookie recipe -- perfect for a holiday cookie swap or any time...

Provided by LJeffTheChef

Categories     Dessert

Time 17m

Yield 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened (not melted)
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon clove
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Cream sugar and softened butter together, then add the egg and molasses.
  • Combine sifted flour, baking soda, salt and all of the spices together with fork or whisk in a separate mixing bowl.
  • Combine dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, roll into balls and then roll in sugar.
  • Bake at 350F for 12 - 15 minutes then sprinkle the tops lightly with sugar.
  • Note: Chilling dough between batches helps.

Tips:

  • Soften the butter and cream cheese to room temperature: This will make them easier to mix and will help the cookies bake more evenly.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Look for organic and unbleached flour, pure vanilla extract, and real butter.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The temperature of the oven will affect the texture of the cookies. Bake the cookies at the temperature specified in the recipe.
  • Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until they are set around the edges and the tops are just starting to brown.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing: The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. Let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
