Chewy Molasses Cookies image

Is it really Christmas until you've had a good molasses cookie? This is the perfect chewy one and we could not stop eating them. The spices are perfectly balanced. Inside the cookie is soft and chewy. Outside they are sugary and slightly crisp. Once baked the perfect crackle forms on top. A traditional cookie for Christmas, these...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 c butter-flavored shortening
1 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 egg
1/2 c molasses
2 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
granulated sugar, for rolling

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Cream together brown sugar and shortening. Stir in egg and molasses and mix well.
  • 2. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking soda, cloves, allspice, cinnamon, and ginger.
  • 3. Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients a little at a time. Stir until combined.
  • 4. Once all the ingredients are combined you'll have a stiff dough.
  • 5. Roll dough into small balls (I use a small cookie scoop).
  • 6. Roll in white sugar.
  • 7. Place on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper that's been lightly greased. Keep cookies about 2 inches apart. Alternatively, you can use a Sil-Pat mat, if you have old cookie sheets.
  • 8. Bake 8 - 9 minutes.
  • 9. Leave on cookie sheet 1 - 2 minutes until set.
  • 10. Then slide the parchment paper or move cookies to a cooling rack and cool completely. Keep in an airtight container for about a week (if they last that long).

These cookies were a little bit too chewy for me, but my husband loved them. I'll probably make them again, but I'll bake them for a few minutes less.

I was worried these cookies would be too sweet, but they were actually perfect. The sweetness was balanced out by the chewiness of the cookie.
