Yield Makes about 25 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cloves
1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
3 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup unsulfured molasses
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. and lightly grease 2 large baking sheets.
  • In a large bowl whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, ginger, cloves, and cinnamon.
  • In another large bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter, shortening, and 3 cups sugar until light and fluffy and beat in molasses. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture and combine well.
  • In a small shallow bowl put remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Form dough into 2-inch balls and roll in sugar. On baking sheets arrange balls about 4 inches apart and flatten slightly with bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.
  • Bake cookies in batches in middle of the oven 15 minutes, or until puffed and golden. (Cookies should be soft.) Transfer cookies with a metal spatula to racks to cool.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover molasses.

I had some trouble with the dough being too dry, but I added a little bit of milk and it turned out fine.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they are still good.

These cookies are so delicious and easy to make! I love that they are not too sweet and have a nice chewy texture. I will definitely be making these again.
