How to Make Molasses Cookies - Easy Soft Molasses Cookies Recipe
Hello and welcome back to In the Kitchen with Matt, I am your host Matt Taylor, Happy New
Year everybody.
Today I am going to teach you how to make Molasses Cookies, mmm yummy; they are really
easy to make, one of my sisters, favorite recipes, she made some for me for the holidays,
they were super yummy, thought I would show you how to make them, really easy to do, if
I can do it, you can do it.
Let's get started.
First let's sift together our dry ingredients.
I am going to add 2 cups of flour here, and it is okay if it goes over the sides here,
probably need a bigger sifter, one half teaspoon of salt, 1 tsp. of ground cinnamon, 2 tsp.
of baking soda, one half tsp. of ground cloves, one half tsp. of ground ginger.
All right and we just sift away here, and now what we want to do is we want to cream
together, 3 fourths cup of shortening, one fourth cup of molasses, the star of the show,
you will want to probably use a spatula to get it all out, and one cup of sugar.
Let's cream that together.
Okay, then I am going to scrape the sides.
And now I will add one egg, mix.
Scrape the sides one more time.
Then we just mix in our flour, and I am going to mix it in, about a third of it at a time.
And then I will scrape the sides one last time.
All right and now we clean off the beaters, and then what I am going to do is I am going
to take the dough and just ball it all together.
And then what we want to do is cover this with plastic wrap or a lid, and then chill
this in the refrigerator, for at least two hours, on to that step.
All right once you have them rolled out, this goes into an oven that has been preheated
to 375 degrees F. And then we will bake them for 7 to 8 minutes.
When they come out of the oven they will look like this, we will go ahead and let them cool
for about 5 minutes, before we transfer them over to a wire rack to cool the rest of the
way.
All right our molasses cookies are done, they turned out amazing, you may not be familiar
with this type of cookie, but go out there and try them, they are really easy to make,
really yummy, I think you are really going to like them.
