My fave ginger molasses cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 2 tsp (10 mL) vanilla
- 1 can (300 mL) Eagle Brand® regular or low-fat sweetened condensed milk
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp ground ginger
- 4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cloves
Method:
With electric mixer, cream butter and sugar. Add the eggs, molasses, vanilla and sweetened condensed milk; mix until smooth.
Sift dry ingredients together. Add to creamed mixture and mix well. Divide dough into 3 balls. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until firm – 4 hours (or up to 2 days).
On floured surface roll each ball out to 1/4-inch thick and cut into desired shapes.
Bake in preheated 350F oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer cookies to wire rack to cool.
