How to Make Molasses Spice Cookies
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Grease two large baking sheets.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 tablespoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 ¼ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 cup molasses.
- Beat in 2 large eggs until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Place ¼ cup granulated sugar in a shallow dish.
- Roll the dough into 2-inch balls. Roll each ball in the sugar to coat.
- Arrange the balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 4 inches between each cookie.
- Gently flatten each ball slightly using the bottom of a glass or measuring cup.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. Cookies will firm up as they cool.
- Carefully transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious homemade Molasses Spice Cookies!
