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!)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a shallow bowl, place 1/2 cup sugar; set aside.
- With an electric mixer, beat butter and remaining cup of sugar until combined. Beat in egg and then molasses until combined. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in dry ingredients, just until a dough forms.
- Pinch off and roll dough into balls, each equal to 1 tablespoon. Roll balls in reserved sugar to coat.
- Arrange balls on baking sheets, about 3 inches apart. Bake, one sheet at a time, until edges of cookies are just firm, 10 to 15 minutes (cookies can be baked two sheets at a time, but they will not crackle uniformly). Cool 1 minute on baking sheets; transfer to racks to cool completely.
SOFT MOLASSES COOKIES
I've tried a lot of molasses cookies since I was a girl on the farm, and as far as I'm concerned, these are simply the best. To keep them soft and chewy, store in a tightly covered container along with a slice of raw apple. These cookies freeze beautifully, too...if you can keep them away from "snitchers" long enough to get them in the freezer!

SOFT AND CHEWY MOLASSES SPICE COOKIES
Another great Cook's Illustrated cookie that is truly soft and chewy. Measure the molasses in a liquid measuring cup. If you find that the dough sticks to your palms as you shape the balls, moisten your hands occasionally in a bowl filled with cold water and shake off the excess. Bake the cookies one sheet at a time. If baked two sheets at a time, the cookies started on the bottom rack won't develop the attractive cracks. The cookies should look slightly raw and under baked when removed from the oven. If you plan to glaze the cookies save the parchment paper used to bake them.

Steps:
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Place 1/2 cup sugar for dipping in 8- or 9-inch cake pan.
- Whisk flour, baking soda, spices, and salt in medium bowl until thoroughly combined; set aside.
- In standing mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter with brown and granulated sugars at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-low and add yolk and vanilla; increase speed to medium and beat until incorporated, about 20 seconds. Reduce speed to medium-low and add molasses; beat until fully incorporated, about 20 seconds, scraping bottom and sides of bowl once with rubber spatula. Reduce speed to lowest setting; add flour mixture and beat until just incorporated, about 30 seconds, scraping bowl down once. Give dough final stir with rubber spatula to ensure that no pockets of flour remain at bottom. Dough will be soft.
- Using tablespoon measure, scoop heaping tablespoon of dough and roll between palms into 1 1/2-inch ball; drop ball into cake pan with sugar and repeat to form about 4 balls. Toss balls in sugar to coat and set on prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Repeat with remaining dough. Bake 1 sheet at a time until cookies are browned, still puffy, and edges have begun to set but centers are still soft (cookies will look raw between cracks and seem underdone), about 11 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through baking. Do not over bake.
- Cool cookies on baking sheet 5 minutes, then use wide metal spatula to transfer cookies to wire rack; cool cookies to room temperature and serve. Can be stored at room temperature in airtight container or zipper-lock plastic bag up to 5 days.

- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
- In a mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, sugar, and molasses on medium speed until creamy and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and beat until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add flour mixture and beat on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
- If the dough is soft and sticky at this point, chill it in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or overnight. This step also results in thicker cookies that will spread less while baking, but it's not mandatory.
