How to Make Old Fashioned Molasses Crinkles
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven.
- Whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until well combined.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, and 1 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 1/2 cup molasses until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using wet hands, roll 1 heaping tablespoon of dough into a 1-inch ball. Dip one end of the ball into coarse sanding sugar.
- Place cookies, sugared side up, 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 cool on baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
