How to Make Molasses Crinkles Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven.
- Whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground allspice, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, and ½ teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, ½ cup vegetable shortening, and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (3-6 minutes).
- Beat in 1 large egg and ½ cup molasses until well combined.
- Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using wet hands, roll 1 heaping teaspoon of dough into a 1-inch ball. Dip one end of each ball into ½ cup granulated sugar.
- Place the cookies, sugar-side up, about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating baking sheets halfway through, until the undersides are golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
