Molasses Cookies
- 4 cups / 600g all purpose flour (type 405)
- 2 cups / 400g sugar
- 1 1/2 cup / 340g butter, melted and cooled
- 1/2 cup / 200g molasses
- 4 tsp (~22g) baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cloves
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
Combine all ingredients in an appropriately sized mixing bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon by hand until stiff, adding a bit more flour as needed.
Don't use a stand mixer! The mixed dough is very firm and sticky!
Refrigerate overnight before baking.
Preheat oven to 375F / 190C convection.
Form the dough into balls and roll in sugar to coat. Place evenly spaced on a baking tray, keeping cold until they go into the oven.
Bake for 5 minutes, then rotate the tray and bake for another 4 minutes before removing from the oven. Allow the cookies to cool for 1 minute before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
