How to Make Nutmeg Molasses Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup molasses until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
- Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls.
- Place balls 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass dipped in granulated sugar.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. Do not overbake!
- Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
