Spice Cookies
Spice Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 2/3 cup all-purpose flour (Specialty Baker's Flour at Sage and Plow)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt (Real Salt at Sage and Plow)
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/4-1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4-1/2 tsp cloves
- 1 cup softened butter (or coconut oil at Sage and Plow)
- 1 1/2 cup sugar (Organic cane sugar at Sage and Plow)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup unsulphured molasses
- 1 tsp vanilla (Mexican vanilla at Sage and Plow)
- 1/2 cup sugar (Organic cane sugar at Sage and Plow)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
- 3. In a large mixing bowl using a hand or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix together the butter and sugars on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes or until smooth, light and fluffy.
- 4. Scrape down the bowl and add the egg, molasses, and vanilla and mix again on the same speed for another 2-3 minutes. The mixture should be silky, light and creamy.
- 5. Pour in half of the dry ingredients and mix on medium-low speed until barely combined. Scrape down the bowl and then pour in the rest of the dry ingredients. Mix again on that same low speed until just combined.
- 6. Use a rubber spatula to manually mix together the dough, working in any dry ingredients that may have settled to the bottom of the bowl.
- 7. Off to the side, add the sugar and cinnamon to a bowl and mix to combine.
- 8. Using a 2 oz ice cream scoop, or 1/4 measuring cup, scoop out the dough and toss in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- 9. Place cookies on a large baking sheet, evenly and well spaced apart. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are a light golden brown and the center is pale and puffed. The cookies will darken, flatten, and settle as they cool.
