How to Make Aunt Clara's Soft Molasses Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in ½ cup molasses and 1 large egg until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground allspice, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
- In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in 1 tablespoon of hot water and let it fizz for a minute.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the dissolved baking soda mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
