Here is a cookie to make now and often!! When I had only been married a few years, the local postmaster’s wife told me one day I should never buy packaged cookies at the grocery store. She shared her Molasses Cookie recipe with me and I have been making these yummy cookies for over 35 years.
The dough is super easy to mix up—then refrigerate until you are ready to bake. When baking these cookies, the sweet, spicy aroma will fill your home. My husband cannot wait for the first batch to be done so he can taste them (with a glass of milk) to be sure they are good!!
MOLASSES COOKIES
3/4 cup oil
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses (gold label)
1 egg
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups all purpose flour
½ teaspoon cloves (ground)
½ teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
Combine oil, sugar, molasses and egg. Beat well. In a separate bowl mix together all dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients to oil/sugar/molasses/egg mixture and mix well. Refrigerate overnight.
When ready to bake, form into 1 inch balls and roll in granulated sugar (during the holidays you can roll in colored sugar, if desired). Place on greased cookie sheets 2 inches apart. Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes.
(Hint: A few years ago I discovered parchment paper and never make cookies without it. You don’t have to grease the pans and the cookies never stick. Clean up is a breeze)
