How to Make Jumbo Molasses Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°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.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cloves, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the chopped nuts and raisins (if using).
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
- Once chilled, scoop out rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the 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.
