Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons molasses
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Granulated sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. In an electric mixer, use the paddle attachment to combine butter and brown sugar; mix on high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add egg and molasses, and mix on medium speed until combined, about 20 seconds, scraping down the sides of the bowl once.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; add to butter mixture. Mix on low speed to combine, 20 seconds.
  • Using 2 spoons, drop 2 teaspoons of batter on a baking sheet; repeat, spacing them 3 inches apart. Bake for 5 minutes. Sprinkle tops of cookies with granulated sugar, rotate sheets between oven shelves, and bake 8 minutes more. Rotate sheets again and bake until cookies are just brown around the edges, about 6 minutes more. Slide parchment with cookies onto a wire rack; let cool for 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container.

I've never made molasses cookies before, but these were really easy to follow.

These cookies are a bit too plain for my taste. I think I'll add some chocolate chips next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll cut back on the sugar next time.
