A few years ago, I acquired this
recipe from one of the parents at my mom’s school. It’s been one of my favorite cookie recipes
ever since. They disappear quickly around
our house (or anywhere else I take them, for that matter). Seriously...try them...they're amazing!
Molasses
Crackle Cookies (Makes 3 Dozen Cookies)
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar + more sugar to coat cookie dough
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/3 tsp. ground ginger
Preheat oven to 350F.
Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and beat thoroughly. Mix in molasses.
Add flour, baking soda,
cinnamon, ground cloves and ground ginger. Mix well.
Roll dough into balls and
coat with granulated sugar. Place cookies
on a baking sheet.
Bake for 8 – 9 minutes
(watch carefully, these cookies burn easily).
Leave cookies on baking sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a
rack to cool.
