These are fabulous--big and soft. I am posting this here since the book that the recipe is in is 3 inches square, and the kid likes to take the book and hide it. These are the best molasses cookies I've had.

Ingredients

24 serv.

tablespoons unsalted butter↗12
cup granulated sugar↗1
cup molasses↗1⁄4
egg↗1
cups all-purpose flour↗1 3⁄4
teaspoon ground cloves↗1⁄2
teaspoon ground ginger↗1⁄2
teaspoon ground cinnamon↗1
teaspoon salt↗1⁄2

Step-by-step instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2
Melt the butter (I just put it in the microwave), and add sugar and molasses.
3
Lightly beat the egg (or use 1/4 cup eggbeaters) and add to the butter mixture, and blend well.
4
Sift the dry ingredients together, and add to the butter mixture(I use King Arthur Flour White Whole Wheat--it has the same texture of all-purpose).
5
It will look wet.
6
Line a cookie sheet with foil.
7
Drop the batter by tablespoons onto the foil, 3 inches apart.
8
Bake 8-10 minutes, until the cookes darken.
9
Remove foil from cookie sheet, and let the cookies cool on the foil.
