2 3/4 cups all purpose flour (330g)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon ground ginger
1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup butter (120g)
1/2 cup brown sugar (90g)
1 egg
3/4 cup molasses (180mL)
Mix together flour, baking soda, salt and spices in a medium bowl and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and molasses and continue to mix until combined. Add flour mixture and mix on low speed until the dough is mixed together. Separate dough into two discs and wrap each in plastic wrap. Place in fridge for at least one hour. When dough is ready to be used, roll it out to about 1/4″ thickness and cut as desired. Cookies can be baked in the oven at 350F for around 14 minutes.

Is there a way to print the recipe?
Hi there,
I tried this recipe and i followed all the meassurements but my dough is super soft and sticky. Its now setting in the fridge and i hope it will harden but i dont think so! I used cup meassurements from holland but i dont think that is very different from those you used. Any tips?
I tried this recipe with sugar beet syrup instead of molasses and it worked perfect! It is really difficult to get molasses here in Germany. Sugar beet syrup is much easier to find and may be a good substitude for all who can’t get molasses. The consistense is comparable to molasses. It was also esay to roll out the dough and the cookies were just delicious ! I hope I can help other people who have the same problem that there’s no easy way to get molasses in their country ! 🙂 Jenn, I’m looking forward for this years christmas videos 🙂 You do a great Job!
Very interesting to learn that! Thanks for sharing this tidbit with everyone!
