How to Make Debbie's Molasses Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Stir in ½ cup molasses and 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup vegetable oil, ¼ cup hot water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the oil mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about ½ inch thickness.
- Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut out cookies. Place them on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are still slightly soft. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
