A sweet, spicy cookie which is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. This is a fridge cookie. The dough chills and keeps very well.
1. 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
2. 1 egg
3. 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
4. 1/3 cup Molasses
5. 2 teaspoons baking soda
6. 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
7. 1 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
8. 1 teaspoon Powdered Ginger
9. 1/2 teaspoon ground Cloves
10. 1/4 teaspoon salt
1. Soften the butter to room temperature.
2. Blend the sugar, butter and egg first until creamy and completely blended.
3. Add the ginger, cinnamon, cloves, Vanilla, and salt to the blended wet ingredients
4. Fold in the remaining dry ingredients a bit at a time to ensure a creamy cookie dough.
5. Once it is creamy, chill the dough for 3 hours at least. An overnight chill is the best.
6. Preheat the oven to 365 degrees.
7. Roll out the cookies dough into balls and roll them in sugar(or not, they are wonderful without sugar as well). You have flexibility on the size. We use a generous teaspoon of dough.
8. Bake for 11-13 minutes.
9. Let the cookies cool on the tray or on a cooling rack.
Enjoy!
