ginger molasses cookies
adapted from Aquavit's gingerbread cookies
ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoons sugar
- 1 stick butter
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup (105g) molasses
directions
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cloves, cardamom, salt and pepper. Add the sugar, butter, egg, and molasses and beat with a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until smooth.
- Divide the dough into 5 equal pieces and form into a log. Wrap each log in a piece of parchment paper and put in the freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350∞ F.
- Cut each log into 1/4" slices. Arrange the slices on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, leaving an inch between each piece. Bake, turning the pan halfway through baking, until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool slightly.
