Molasses Cookies

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup unsalted butter melted
• 1 cup white sugar, plus extra for rolling
• 1 egg
• ⅓ cup dark molasses
• 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour (measured by scoop and leveling)
• 2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground cloves
• ½ teaspoon powdered ginger

A few notes on making these:

This dough, like the chocolate crinkle cookies, needs time to chill so plan accordingly.

Instructions:

• In a large stand mixer combine the butter, sugar, egg and molasses. Mix for a minute or two until well combined.
• Combine the flour, cloves, ginger cinnamon and baking soda and sift together.
• Slowly add the flour mixture to the molasses mixture and mix until evenly combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Once chilled, scoop 2 tablespoons of dough at a time and roll into balls. Roll them around in a small cup of sugar and set onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes.
