Here is the chewy version of the molasses cookie. Yep, its the big puffy one with the sugar on top...mmmm. I thought I gave this recipe out on my blog last year, but I didn't. So, making its debut is the Holiday Molasses Cookie...this cookie is sure to become a holiday tradition every year.
Holiday Molasses Cookies
3⁄4 C shortening
1 C brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1⁄4 C molasses
Mix above ingredients together and then add:
2 C + 2 T sifted and finely ground whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1⁄2 tsp ground cloves
11⁄4 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Roll into 1 in. balls and dip tops in sugar. Put sugar in a bowl for dipping the cookie dough balls. Dip top of each dough ball in sugar. Drip a few drops of water from your fingers on the top of each ball to help the sugar remain on the cookie. Bake for 7-9 minutes. Makes 3 dozen cookies.
