Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies
These are not your average ginger bread cookies - the molasses gives these cookies a perfectly soft and chewy texture which will have them melting in your mouth.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups Flour
- 2 tsp Baking Soda
- 2 tsp Ground Ginger
- 1 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Ground Clove
- 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
- 1 tsp Salt
- 3/4 Cup Butter Unsalted
- 1/2 Cup Molasses Full Flavor
- 3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Granulated sugar for coating
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350
- In a large bowl wisk together flour, baking soda, spices and salt and set aside
- In a seperate bowl start to cream together your butter, brown sugar, molasses, egg and vanilla extract - it is much easier using an electronic mixer but can also be done by hand!
- Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix well until you've reached a doughy consistency - if it doesn't seem firm enough add in a little bit more flour!
- Roll dough into 2 inch thick balls
- In a small bowl pour in some granulated sugar and roll each ball in the sugar coating it completely
- Bake for 11 minutes or until edges start to brown
- One you take them out of the oven drop the pan on the counter a few times so the cracks can set in
- Let cool and enjoy!
