Provided by Sarah Epperson Loveless

Total Time 2 hours 25 minutes

Yield 2 ½ dozen

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup packed dark brown sugar
? cup unsulfured molasses
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2?½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1?½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup finely chopped crystallized ginger (from 1 [3-oz.] pkg. crystallized ginger)
1?½ cups unsifted powdered sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon), as needed
Sparkling sugar or sanding sugar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Beat butter, brown sugar, molasses, and ½ cup of the granulated sugar with a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla; beat until combined, about 30 seconds.
Whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, ground ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl until combined. Gradually add to butter mixture, beating on low speed until combined, about 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Fold in crystallized ginger. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or up to overnight (8 hours).
Remove dough from refrigerator, and unwrap. Using a 2-inch cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons), scoop cookie dough into rounds, and roll each into a smooth ball. (You should have about 30 balls.) Place remaining ½ cup granulated sugar on a plate. Roll balls in sugar to coat, and arrange 3 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake in 2 batches in preheated oven until cookies have crackles and edges are slightly darker in color, 10 to 12 minutes per batch. Let cool on baking sheet 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack, and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Whisk together powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a small bowl until combined and smooth; whisk in additional lemon juice 1 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency. Drizzle over cooled cookies; sprinkle with sparkling sugar or sanding sugar as desired.

MOLASSES CRINKLES RECIPE - SOUTHERN LIVING

Molasses Crinkles Recipe - Southern Living image

The recipe for these wonderfully flavored cookies, sent in by Ms. Alice Rhodes from Harrisonburg, Virginia, was published in the November 1992, issue of Southern Living. Loaded with the classic holiday spices cinnamon, ginger, and cloves, these cookies make a great addition to your next cookie swap. Have each invited guest choose their favorite cookie recipe and bake a dozen for each person attending the party. Ask participants to bring extra cookies for sampling during the party. The only refreshment you will need to prepare, besides your cookies, will be the beverage. Tell everyone how to bring their cookies for trading—they can pre-package them for each guest, or they can bring the whole batch in one container. And don't forget to ask guests to bring copies their cookie recipes. Need creative packaging ideas? Check stores for holiday tins, serving containers, bags, baskets, and gift boxes. Line with paper or cloth napkins, colored plastic wrap, or colored tissue paper. Create your own gift bags from small paper lunch-bags. Decorate with holiday stencils or rubber stamps and ink. Cut scallops along the top edges of the bag, fold down the top, punch at least two holes in the folded section and weave ribbon through the holes to close the bag. Cardboard carryout containers with wire handles, the type used in Asian restaurants, also make creative cookie packages.

These are basically a soft ginger snap. I made them for my 8 year olds class and they were fighting over the extras. I also made them for a very sweet older friend who said she hadn't tasted these since her mother made them when she was little, They make a ton and stay fresh for quite awhile. This works perfectly for Christmas or large amounts of company!

SPICED MOLASSES DROPS - SOUTHERN LIVING

If you're a fan of spice cookies, our Test Kitchen calls these the best molasses cookies they have ever had. Our deeply spiced recipe is flavored with light molasses, vanilla extract, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and one unexpected ingredient: black pepper. A pinch of ground black pepper adds a hint of spiciness and gives the cookie a more complex flavor that people will notice but won't be able to quite figure out. (See if they can guess!) Like all drop cookies, these Spiced Molasses Drops are very simple to make. You can make the dough a day ahead, chill it overnight, then bake it the next day. Once you've combined the wet and dry ingredients using an electric mixer, simply drop heaping spoonfuls of the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. While it might be tempting to just coat your cookie sheets with cooking spray, the parchment paper will keep the cookies from sticking. Bake in a preheated oven, rotating the pans to the lower rack halfway through baking to ensure they bake evenly. These tender, chewy cookies are covered with crunchy coarse sanding sugar for just the right amount of textural contrast. Our Test Kitchen raved about them and we think they will become your new favorite spice cookie too.

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.
