Molasses Crinkles

From Betty Crocker’s Cookbook for Boys and Girls

Ingredients

1. 3/4 cup butter (room temp)
2. 1 cup brown sugar
3. 1 egg
4. 1/4 cup molasses
5. 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
6. 2 tsp. baking soda
7. 1/4 tsp. salt
8. 1/2 tsp. cloves
9. 1 tsp. cinnamon
10. 1 tsp. ginger
11. 1/2 cup sugar

Process

1.  Cream together butter and sugar.  Add in egg and molasses and mix until smooth.

2.  In a separate bowl mix together the flour, soda, salt and spices.

3.  Add into the butter mixture and combine.

4.  Cover with plastic wrap and chill dough for at least 3 hours (or overnight).

5.  After the dough is chilled preheat your oven to 375 degrees (F).

6.  Scoop out some dough with a spoon and roll it into a walnut sized ball.  Dip the top into a small bowl full of sugar.  Place on your baking sheet (parchment lined is best, but otherwise just greased normally) about 3 inches apart.

7.  Once your baking sheet is full, using your fingers, sprinkle or flick each cookie with a few drops of water.  This will give a nice crackled surface of the cookie when it’s baked.

8.  Place in oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, just until set but not hard.

Makes about 3 dozen cookies
