Best Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies Recipes

CHEWY GINGER MOLASSES COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, cloves and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until well combined, about 3 minutes. Add the molasses and egg and beat until lighter in color, about 3 minutes. Add the flour mixture and mix on low until well blended.
• Using a tablespoon, form the dough into 1-inch balls and roll in sugar. Place each ball 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden and crackled, 12 to 15 minutes; the cookies will still be a little soft. Baking these in 3 batches one sheet at a time gets you the nice, crackly top. The second sheet of cookies can stay on the counter until ready to bake. Form the remaining dough, roll the balls in sugar and place on the now cooled first baking sheet. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, and then remove to a rack to cool completely.

DOVETAIL BAKERY'S CHEWY GINGER MOLASSES COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, allspice and crystallized ginger; set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat the Earth Balance spread, 1 cup sugar, orange zest and molasses until well incorporated, 30 to 45 seconds at medium speed if you're using an electric mixer. Add the egg replacer and mix to incorporate, scraping down the sides of the mixing bowl. Add the flour mixture and mix until well incorporated.
• Pour the remaining ½ cup sugar into a small bowl. Shape 2-tablespoon portions of dough into balls and place in the bowl with the sugar. Roll the dough balls around until they're completely coated. Place on baking sheets about 3 inches apart. If using, place a fat blueberry in the middle of each cookie. Bake for 10 to12 minutes or until they have all puffed up and are starting to look crackly. Cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely.
• To get ahead for the holidays: These cookies are great for potlucks, thank-you gifts and last-minute guests. The dough freezes well, so it's a great thing to keep on hand during the holiday season. The easiest way to keep this dough is to scoop it out into 2 tablespoon-sized balls, freeze on a baking sheet, then wrap thoroughly in plastic and keep frozen. You can bake these directly from the freezer without defrosting by tossing them in sugar and baking for 15 to 20 minutes, or until puffed and crackly.
