Molasses Cookies

firebus's picture

You bought a bottle of molasses 5 or 10 years ago for some recipe (You were making BBQ sauce from scratch maybe? Gingerbread men?). You used 0.5 cups. Here's how to get rid of the rest!

This dough freezes great, so make 8 or 9 batches and don't buy molasses any more!

Adapted from this Saveur recipe.


Ingredients:

1 stick of butter (8 oz), melted


1 c sugar


0.5 c molasses


1 egg


0.5 c milk


2.5 c flour


0.5 t each of ground cloves, ground cinnamon, salt


0.5 t ground dried or grated fresh ginger OR 0.25 c chopped up ginger candies (clean out that pantry)


1.75 t baking soda


Method:

Mix butter, sugar, molasses, egg and milk with a whisk


Mix flour, spices, candy, and chemicals in another bowl, then mix into the wets.


Drop generous tablespoons onto a greased cookie sheet


Bake for at most 10 minutes (check after 7) at 375.


Cool cookies on a wire rack


Yield:

24 cookies
