How to Make Grandma Clay Spice Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon molasses.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
