Even thought the holidays have come and gone, I’ve got a few festive cookie recipes still to post. Sorry I’m a little late with sharing these! But who says you can’t enjoy Christmas cookies AFTER Christmas??!!
Ingredients:
2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground ginger
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¾ cup unsalted butter (1 ½ sticks), softened
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 Tablespoon orange juice
¼ cup molasses
2 Tablespoons white sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Into a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon and cloves. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together with a mixer the butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg.
Stir in the orange juice and molasses with a spoon.
Gradually stir the sifted ingredients into the creamed ingredients. Blend well.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour, or put into the freezer for at least 15 minutes to firm up dough.
Place the 2 Tablespoons sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
Shape dough into walnut sized balls, and roll them in the sugar.
Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet (line with parchment for best results).
Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
