BEST EVER MOLASSES COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use cooking spray.
• Melt the shortening in a small saucepan or in the microwave and let cool. Add the sugar, molasses, and egg and mix until incorporated.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Add this to the wet mixture and mix until it forms a dough and is incorporated.
• Scoop into one inch balls and roll in sugar and place 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack and dip in white chocolate if desired.

OLD-FASHIONED MOLASSES COOKIES

Steps:

• Combine butter, brown sugar, shortening, molasses and egg in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt; beat at low speed until well mixed.
• Divide dough in half; wrap each half in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate 1-2 hours or until firm.
• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Working with one-half of dough at a time, shape dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Roll balls in granulated sugar. Place, 2 inches apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten balls to 2 1/2-inch diameter with bottom of glass. Bake 8-11 minutes or until set.

CHEWY MOLASSES-SPICE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a shallow bowl, place 1/2 cup sugar; set aside.
• With an electric mixer, beat butter and remaining cup of sugar until combined. Beat in egg and then molasses until combined. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in dry ingredients, just until a dough forms.
• Pinch off and roll dough into balls, each equal to 1 tablespoon. Roll balls in reserved sugar to coat.
• Arrange balls on baking sheets, about 3 inches apart. Bake, one sheet at a time, until edges of cookies are just firm, 10 to 15 minutes (cookies can be baked two sheets at a time, but they will not crackle uniformly). Cool 1 minute on baking sheets; transfer to racks to cool completely.

THIN AND CRISPY SPICY MOLASSES COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325° F. (not fan assisted) with rack in centre of oven and prepare a baking sheet with parchment or a Silpat.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl using a hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until thoroughly incorporated. Beat in the molasses.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger, salt and ground cloves. With the mixer running, slowly add the dry ingredients to the mixture until completely incorporated.
• Spoon the batter into mounds (about 2 Tablespoons each) and place on prepared cookie sheet. Space the cookies at least 3 to 4 inches apart, as they will spread! I bake only 6 at a time on a half sheet pan.
• Baking time will vary depending on your oven, weight of your baking sheet and how you like your cookies (more crispy or more chewy). Check cookies regularly starting at 12 minutes and watch carefully. Cookies will puff up as they bake and then deflate in to a flat cookie. You want to leave them in the oven at least until they deflate. How much longer you bake after that will determine how crispy they'll be. Somewhere between 14-17 minutes is in the right range. If you like, you can rotate the pan front to back halfway through for even colouring.
• Allow cookies to sit on the baking sheet until they firm up enough to move to a cooling rack (about a minute or two). Cookies will firm up as they cool.
