BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES COOKIE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Mix butter and sugar in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Add molasses, maple syrup, and water; beat thoroughly. Mix in ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt.
• Sift 2 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, and baking powder together in a bowl; mix into wet ingredients until combined. Let dough sit for about 10 minutes; it should be thick enough to roll into a ball. If not, add a little more flour.
• Scoop 1 tablespoon dough and roll it into a ball. Place on a baking sheet and flatten slightly. Repeat to form remaining cookies.
• Bake in batches in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 15 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing to paper towels to cool completely.

Steps:

• Mix the milk and vinegar and set aside for a minute.
• In a large bowl mix well the sugar, both molasses and shortening (if you don't have the Black Strap you can use the regular but the taste is much better with the black strap).
• Add the milk and vinegar mixture.
• Add the dry ingredients mixing well.
• Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Roll out on a floured board and cut in circle the size you want (I usually do one about 3 inches).
• Sprinkle the tops with some sugar.
• Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 7-8 minute.
• Don't overbake them, just till done.
