The Perfect Holiday Spiced Molasses Cookies | Alexis deBoschnek
If you're like me and a bit late to the Christmas cookie game this year, this is the recipe for you. I love these spiced molasses for many reasons, first being that they're incredibly delicious. They're chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside, with a sparkly sugared topping. They come together in minutes and you'll be done in under an hour. Let me know in the comments what your favorite Christmas cookies are!

Ingredients
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1½ cups granulated sugar, divided
1 large egg
¼ cup molasses
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground ginger or 1½ inch knob grated (2½ teaspoons)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
½ teaspoon ground cloves
Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the butter and 1 cup of sugar and cream on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg and mix until just combined. Add the molasses and mix until smooth.
In a medium bowl, add the flour, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves and stir to combine.
With the motor running on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients until just combined.
Use a 1 tablespoon scoop to portion out the cookies and roll in the remaining ½ cup of sugar until fully coated.
Place four cookies on each baking sheet, spaced 3-inches apart. Bake until the cookies have spread out and are deeply aromatic, about 10 to 12 minutes.
Let the cookies cool on a baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Repeat with the remaining dough. Happy baking!

Let’s get started. First let’s sift together our dry ingredients. I am going to add 2 cups of flour here, and it is okay if it goes over the sides here, probably need a bigger sifter, one half teaspoon of salt, 1 tsp. of ground cinnamon, 2 tsp. of baking soda, one half tsp. of ground cloves, one half tsp. of ground ginger. All right and we just sift away here, and now what we want to do is we want to cream together, 3 fourths cup of shortening, one fourth cup of molasses, the star of the show, you will want to probably use a spatula to get it all out, and one cup of sugar. Let’s cream that together. Okay, then I am going to scrape the sides. And now I will add one egg, mix. Scrape the sides one more time. Then we just mix in our flour, and I am going to mix it in, about a third of it at a time. And then I will scrape the sides one last time. All right and now we clean off the beaters, and then what I am going to do is I am going to take the dough and just ball it all together. And then what we want to do is cover this with plastic wrap or a lid, and then chill this in the refrigerator, for at least two hours, on to that step. All right once you have them rolled out, this goes into an oven that has been preheated to 375 degrees F. And then we will bake them for 7 to 8 minutes. When they come out of the oven they will look like this, we will go ahead and let them cool for about 5 minutes, before we transfer them over to a wire rack to cool the rest of the way. All right our molasses cookies are done, they turned out amazing, you may not be familiar with this type of cookie, but go out there and try them, they are really easy to make, really yummy, I think you are really going to like them.

Summer Social Studies: Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Molasses Cookies
You may remember Laura Ingalls Wilder from her Little House on the Prairie series, but did you know she also created a recipe book? Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Country Cookbook included a collection of old and found recipes, including this cookie recipe!
Ingredients
1/3 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 egg, room temperature
1/2 cup molasses
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp orange extract or grated orange zest (or sub 1 tsp vanilla)
Note: Laura’s recipe (from the 1930s) included 1 cup unsweetened grated or flaked coconut. Coconut wasn’t available when she was a child, but by the early 20th century, would have been available in stores throughout the country. Orange also became increasingly available!
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease two cookies sheets with unsalted butter.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Add in the molasses.
(If adding coconut, add to the wet mixture and stir to combine)
3. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients along with the orange zest.
4. Mix well.
5. Drop the batter using a tablespoon onto the cookie sheet. Make sure to leave some space between the cookies!
6. Bake for 8 minutes, then rotate the trays. Bake for another 7-10 minutes. Keep an eye out! You don’t want these cookies to dry out.
7. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool.
Then eat!
