Molasses Cookies
By Niecer71
I truly believe that the specific brand ingredients that I list in the recipe make a big difference in how the cookies turn out. I usually double the recipe even if I don't plan to bake that many cookies because the dough freezes very well.
Ingredients
- 3/4 c. butter, melted (not margarine)
- 1 c. brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 c. Brer Rabbit Molasses
- 2 c. flour
- 2 t. baking soda
- 1/2 t. salt
- 1 t. ground cinnamon (REAL cinnamon. I buy mine from King Arthur flour)
- 1/2 t. ground ginger
- 1 t. Soft diced ginger (King Arthur brand)
- Demarara sugar or coarse sugar for rolling before baking

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine butter, brown sugar and egg until smooth. Stir in molasses.
Step 2
In separate bowl, combine dry ingredients.
Step 3
Slowly add dry mixture into molasses mixture. When combined, add soft, diced ginger and mix completely. Cover and refrigerate dough for several hours until cold.
Step 4
Using cookie scoop, scoop dough and then roll in demarara sugar before placing on baking sheet covered in parchment paper.
Step 5
Bake for 8-10 minutes, depending on cookie scoop size. Cool on cookie sheet for 3 minutes then move to cooling rack to finish cooling.
Step 6
Cool completely before packaging.
JP asked that I put a note saying that he prefers when I cook the cookies on 350 degrees. This makes a much "raw-er" inside. (I did this by accident, setting the oven too low).
