GRANDMAS MOLASSES COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Place 6 tablespoons unsalted butter in a medium bowl and let sit at room temperature until softened.
• Arrange a rack to the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Unroll one pie dough, or roll out a homemade dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer to a 9-inch standard pie plate (not deep dish) and ease it into the corners of the pan. Roll the edges of the dough under itself and crimp with your fingers or the tines of a fork. Refrigerate while you make the filling.
• Add 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour and 2/3 cup granulated sugar to the bowl of butter. Use a fork to cut the butter into the flour and sugar until the butter is cut into rough pea-sized pieces (it’s okay to have a mixture of sizes); the mixture will still be floury and not crumbly.
• Pour 2/3 cup hot brewed coffee into a large bowl. Add 1 teaspoon baking soda and whisk until combined. The mixture will start to bubble and look slightly foamy. Add 1/3 cup light molasses and 1/3 cup dark corn syrup and whisk to combine. Add 1 large egg and whisk until combined and smooth.
• Add 1/3 of the flour mixture (heaping 3/4 cup) to the molasses mixture and stir until combined and the crumbs are moistened; it will be lumpy and liquidy.
• Pour the filling into the pie crust. Evenly sprinkle the remaining flour mixture on top of the pie but do not push into the liquid, just let it sit on top.
• Bake until the center is set and springs back when lightly poked, 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let the pie cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing and serving.
