Old Fashioned Soft Molasses Cookies


These molasses cookies are a Cape Breton Island favorite!  

Super soft and packed with the amazing, rich flavors of molasses, ginger, and cinnamon. Just like Grandpa used to make!

Ingredients

1 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
1 Cup Butter
1/4 Cup Molasses
1 Large Egg
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 1/2 Cups Flour
2 Teaspoons Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1 Teaspoon Ground Ginger
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar, For Rolling

Stuff you will need

Stand Mixer w/paddle mixer, or a strong arm
Cookie sheets w/parchment paper
Shallow bowl
Wire rack for cookie cooling

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper or non stick cooking spray, set aside.

In a large bowl using a hand mixer, or in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment beat together the brown sugar, butter, molasses, egg, and vanilla until well combined.

Mix in the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.


Shape the dough by rounded tablespoon fulls into 1 1/2 inch balls. Dip the cookies into the granulated sugar and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.


Bake in preheated oven for 13-15 minutes just until set. 


Remove cookies to a wire rack to cool immediately.
