Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup molasses
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves until well combined.
- Step 3: In another bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Then add the molasses and mix until fully incorporated.
- Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined and a dough forms.
- Step 5: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
- Step 6: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store your Molasses Cream Pie Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate them for longer shelf life. If you prefer your cookies warm, simply pop them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to revive their soft texture. These cookies pair wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. To enhance the spices' flavor, consider letting the cookie dough chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before baking; this can deepen the taste and improve the texture.
