How to Make Molasses Crinkles
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) shortening and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg and ½ cup molasses until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground ginger.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar.
- Place the sugared balls onto the prepared baking sheets, unsugared side down.
- Using a spray bottle, lightly mist the top of each cookie with water.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
