Have you ever had those ginormous molasses cookies from Starbucks? The ones that are all chewy and spicy and amazing?
When I stumbled upon someone's copy cat recipe, I bookmarked it, knowing making these was in the stars very soon. They didn't disappoint, although I don't think they are EXACTLY like the Starbucks ones. They needed more molasses, or spices...or something.
Molasses Cookies
Cooking During Stolen Moments Blog
3/4 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup molasses
2 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 cup white sugar to roll dough
Cream butter and brown sugar together. Add the egg and molasses and mix well.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and ginger. Mix well before adding to the sugar mixture.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Scoop dough by heaping tablespoon, roll into a ball and roll in sugar. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake for about 12 minutes.
They need cloves! And you're probably right more molasses, but I suspect cloves would add the right spiceyness perhaps? :)
