Yield Makes about 50 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup solid vegetable shortening
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup unsulfured molasses

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with Silpats; set aside.
  • 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 1 cup 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.
  • Place the remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a small bowl. Using a 1 1/2-inch ice-cream scoop, 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 12 minutes, rotating the baking sheets once after 5 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.

These molasses spice crisps are so delicious! They're the perfect combination of sweet and spicy, and they're so easy to make. I love that they're made with whole wheat flour, so they're a bit healthier than traditional crisps. I'll definitely be mak
