Andrew and I made up these kick-ass Molasses Cookies! :)
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup molasses
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1-2 teaspoons each: ground cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg
1/2-1 teaspoon each ground: cardamom, cloves
Directions:
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugars and egg until well blended. Stir in the molasses. Combine the flour, baking soda and spices; stir into the molasses mixture.
Cover the dough and chill for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Roll the dough into walnut sized balls.
Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheet.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven.
Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
