How to Make Molasses Spice Spritz

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger. (For a stronger spice flavor, double these amounts).
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 cup packed light brown sugar and 1/2 cup molasses until well combined.
  5. Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; beat until smooth.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fill a cookie press with the dough. Press cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. (Baking time may vary depending on your oven and cookie press design).
  9. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
