How to Make Frosted Molasses Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the molasses and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cloves, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cookies cool, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and milk, beating until light and fluffy.
- Once cookies are completely cool, frost them generously.
