1995 1st Place Swedish Spice Cookies

Home | Recipes | 1
Cookies Holiday

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 c All-purpose flour, sifted before measuring
  • 2 ts Baking soda
  • 1 ts Ground cloves
  • 1 ts Ground ginger
  • 1 ts Ground cinnamon
  • 1 ts Ground salt
  • 3/4 c Unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 c Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 c Molasses

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Have ungreased baking sheet(s) ready. Sift together the flour, baking soda, spices and salt; set aside.
 
2. Beat the butter and 1 cup of the granulated sugar in large bowl of an electric mixer on high speed until light, 1 minute. Add the egg and molasses; mix well. Stop the mixer and add the flour mixture. Mix just until combined.
 
3. Using about 1 1/2 teaspoons dough for each, roll dough into balls. Roll in the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar so they are fully coated. Arrange on baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. If you prefer a thin, crisp cookie, they may be flattened with a glass that has been dipped in sugar.
 
4. Bake until set, 9 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
