Neshomeh's Molasses Cookies
Mix together thoroughly:
1-1/2 C. butter
1 C. sugar
1 C. light brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 C. mild molasses
Sift together and then beat in gradually:
4-1/2 C. flour
4 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
2 t. cinnamon
1 t. cloves
1 t. ginger
Chill dough at least one hour. Roll dough into balls and then roll in granulated sugar. Bake at 375°F for 8-10 minutes on ungreased double sheets. Do NOT overbake!
Note: Cookies will puff while baking, then flatten out at about 8-9 minutes. Remove about one minute later for a soft cookie.
A one-inch "baller" makes 110 cookies.
It's about the biggest recipe my stand mixer will accommodate, which is why I like it: more than enough for sharing. You can definitely cut it in half if you'd rather not go that big, though.
A tip: You may want to wear gloves while rolling the dough balls. They leave quite the sticky residue on your palms otherwise.
When I'm feeling particularly fancy, I lightly press a little candied ginger bit into the top of each dough ball before baking.
Enjoy!
~Neshomeh, who hasn't actually gotten around to making them herself yet, but maybe tomorrow!
