GINGER MOLASSES COOKIES
This cookie is for the true spice lover. I just love the smell of the house when they are baking and was so fortunate to be one of my friend Lisa's taste-tester's for this recipe (and of course promptly asked for the recipe). I can't remember how many this makes so yield time is estimated. I generally make my cookies using a smaller cookie scoop so we can enjoy them longer. Oh, and if you don't have a lot of time to make these, you can omit the chilling time and they will still turn out--I'm honestly not sure if I ever chill the dough when I'm making these...rebel, I know. ;-)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line 2-3 cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.Combine the sugar and candied ginger in a food processor and grind until fine.
- Pour into a small bowl and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, wisk together the melted butter and brown sugar. Add the egg and molasses and mix well.
- Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices and sift into the butter mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to blend.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour.
- Using a #20 cookie scoop or a 1/4 cup measure, scoop balls of dough, and gently flatten to form 2-1/2 to 3 inch discs.
- Roll each disc in the ginger sugar, and place on the lined cookie sheet, leaving about 3 inches between each cookie.
- Bake 12-15 minutes, until just golden brown around the edges, but still slightly soft. Do not overbake.
- Remove from the oven and immediately slide the paper or mat onto a metal rack to cool.
- I use a small cookie scoop for these to make smaller (and more!) cookies. Start out baking them for 8 minutes and then adjust the time accordingly.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees with the rack in the center.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Set aside.

- Set aside.
- Cream the butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl with mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.

- Scrape the sides with a rubber spatula several times while mixing.

- Place some granulated sugar on a small plate or saucer.
- Use a 1/4-cup ice cream scoop or a measuring cup to form 1/4-cup portions of dough.
- (Spray the cup or scoop with non-stick vegetable spray to make it easier to release the dough.) Transfer the dough to your hands and roll each portion into a rough ball, then roll each ball into the sugar.
- Place six sugared balls on each baking sheet, spacing them evenly, because they will spread during baking.
- Dampen your fingers with water and press down lightly on each cookie to flatten it a little and dampen the top.

- Bake for 12 minutes, or until the cookies have spread and are firm to the touch.
- Rotate the sheet 180 degrees halfway through the baking time.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, cloves and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until well combined, about 3 minutes. Add the molasses and egg and beat until lighter in color, about 3 minutes. Add the flour mixture and mix on low until well blended.
- Using a tablespoon, form the dough into 1-inch balls and roll in sugar. Place each ball 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden and crackled, 12 to 15 minutes; the cookies will still be a little soft. Baking these in 3 batches one sheet at a time gets you the nice, crackly top. The second sheet of cookies can stay on the counter until ready to bake. Form the remaining dough, roll the balls in sugar and place on the now cooled first baking sheet. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, and then remove to a rack to cool completely.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, and salt and then combine the mixture with your hands.

Let the cookies cool on the sheets for 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

GINGER-MOLASSES COOKIES
Think of these cookies as a cross between a gingerbread man and a chewy molasses cookie. Adding molasses gives them a softer texture with a decidedly adult, almost caramel flavor. Instead of rolling or slicing these cookies, this rich, soft dough is perfect for rolling into balls and coating in coarse sugar before baking. The dough can even be made up to 5 days ahead and refrigerated, or baked 2 days ahead and stored at room temperature.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and allspice.
- In another bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together butter, molasses and sugar on medium-high until the mixture is superlight, fluffy and pale, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add in eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla extract, and beat until everything is well combined, again stopping to scrape down bowl as necessary.
- Add dry ingredients all at once, and mix on low speed until just incorporated.
- Chill dough in refrigerator for 30 to 45 minutes, until firm enough to roll.
- Heat oven to 325 degrees.
- Using your hands, roll heaping tablespoons of dough into balls, then roll them in coarse sugar. (Sanding sugar is festive, but turbinado or coarse sugar will do the trick as well.) If dough becomes too soft to roll, put back in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes. Place balls on a parchment-lined baking tray 2 inches apart and bake until the cookies are puffed, golden brown around the edges and baked through and the tops spring back slightly when touched, 12 to 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and spices in a medium bowl.
- Beat butter and sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in molasses. Reduce speed to low. Gradually add flour mixture, and beat until just combined. Divide dough into 3 portions, and wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a generously floured piece of parchment, roll dough to a scant 1/4 inch thick. Brush off excess flour. Slide dough and parchment onto baking sheets, and freeze for 15 minutes.
- Cut out desired shapes. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets, and freeze for 15 minutes.
- Bake cookies for 6 minutes. Remove sheets from oven, and tap them firmly on counter to flatten cookies. Return to oven, rotating sheets, and bake until crisp but not darkened, 6 to 8 minutes more. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.
- Spoon icing into a pastry bag fitted with a very small plain round tip (such as Ateco #0 or #1). Pipe designs on cookies. Let cookies stand at room temperature until set, at least 2 hours (preferably overnight).
CHRISTMAS MOLASSES AND GINGER COOKIES
I got this recipe out of one of my mother's cookbooks and tried it one Christmas Eve with her. They were amazing! My brother even loved them, and he is the pickiest person I know. When they were done I threw one to my dog. They are now his favorite treat of all. Hopefully, you will love this recipe as much as we do!

CHEWY MOLASSES COOKIES
This recipe has been handed down in our family since World War II and it remains a favorite with the grandkids today. Do not substitute anything for the melted shortening; your results will not be as good. If you prefer a crispier molasses cookie, bake one minute longer. These cookies freeze well (if you can keep your family from eating them up first!)
