Soft and Chewy Molasses Cookies
These cookies are very reminiscent of ginger snaps, except they are soft and chewy. The scent of these cookies baking is sure to bring the family running. Make sure not to overbake these cookies so that they stay soft and chewy. 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar 3/4 cup softened unsalted butter 1 large egg 3/4 cup unsulfured molasses 2 3/4 cup flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice Preheat oven to 325 degrees and lightly grease the cookie sheets. In a large bowl cream together the brown sugar and butter until creamy. Beat in the egg and molasses until light and creamy. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add the dry ingredients slowly to the butter mixture. Drop by teaspoonsful onto the prepared sheets 2 inches apart and bake for 8-10 minutes or until set. Cookies should not brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container, or wrap well and freeze. From: www.cookierecipesonline.com/softandchewymolasses.htm
