CHEWY MOLASSES COOKIES



OVEN - 375 degrees


Ingredients

SERVINGS: MAKES 2½ DOZEN
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  •  teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  •  cup granulated sugar
  •  cup mild-flavored (light) or robust-flavored (dark) molasses
  • ¼ cup (packed) dark brown sugar
  • Coarse sanding or raw sugar (for rolling)

DIRECTIONS: 
  • Place racks in lower and upper thirds of oven; preheat to 375°. 
  • Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and salt in a small bowl. Whisk egg, butter, granulated sugar, molasses, and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Mix in dry ingredients just to combine.
  • Place sanding sugar in a shallow bowl. Scoop out dough by the tablespoonful and roll into balls (if dough is sticky, chill 20 minutes). Roll in sugar and place on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2” apart.
  • Bake cookies, rotating baking sheets halfway through, until cookies are puffed, cracked, and just set around edges (over-baked cookies won’t be chewy), 8–10 minutes. 
  • Transfer to wire racks and let cool.
  • Do Ahead: Cookie dough can be made and rolled into balls 2 weeks ahead. Freeze on a baking sheet; transfer to resealable plastic bags. Let sit at room temperature 30 minutes before rolling in sugar.
