If you like gingersnaps, you will NOT be disappointed.
Molasses Spice Cookies
2.25 c flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1.5 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
3/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp allspice
12 T (1.5 sticks) butter
1/2 c dark brown sugar (I used light brown)
1/2 c Sugar plus 1/3 c for rolling
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 c molasses
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves & allspice. Set aside. With mixer, cream butter for 2 min. Add brown sugar, and 1/2 c sugar. Beat 3 min. Add egg, vanilla, & molasses. Beat til combined. Add dry ingredients and beat on low until combined. (Refrigerate for 20 minutes or until dough is easily rolled.) Roll into balls & roll in the 1/3 c sugar. Bake 11-13 minutes. If you overbake, they won't be soft. I take them out at exactly 11 minutes. I like 'em soft.

I could eat a dozen right now! Why can't you live closer to me?
I think we had a discussion just recently about how I adore gingersnaps and was disappointed by the brand selection. I WILL be trying these.
I just made these and they were amazing. I have to admit that I was hoping for them to have a little bit more of a powerful flavor, but they were still to die for. They were perfect with a glass of milk!
I think I like this recipe better than the one I have. It called for butter-flavored crisco, but I would much rather use real butter. Thanks for fbing it!
