About 10 years ago, my cousin Sammy brought over some molasses cookies that she made to our annual family Christmas party. I loved how soft and crunchy and flavorful they were and was basically obsessed with them. Even after 10 years, I still never forgot about them and always wanted the recipe for them and finally got it recently. Ever since, I have been baked these multiple times and have gotten a lot of compliments, so I thought I would share them with you!
INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup of butter
1 cup of sugar
1/4 cup of lite molasses
1 egg
2 teaspoons of baking soda
2 cups of flour
1/2 teaspoon of cloves
1/2 teaspoon of ginger
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 cup of sugar (you'll be using this later after rolling the dough into balls)
DIRECTIONS:
Melt butter, add 1 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of lite molasses, and 1 egg. Beat well.
Add dry ingredients (baking soda, flour, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, salt). Mix well.
Cover bowl and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
Roll into balls then roll in the 1/4 cup of sugar.
Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes. Enjoy!
