Spice Cookies
Soft, pillowy molasses cookies infused with warm ginger, cinnamon, and cloves, finished with a sweet white sugar glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 and 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1 cup Brown Sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 1/4 cup Molasses
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cloves
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar (for glaze)
- 1-2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and molasses until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until a dough forms.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets, 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are set but centers are soft. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the glaze: Whisk powdered sugar and milk until smooth and drizzling consistency.
- Drizzle glaze over cooled cookies and let set before serving.
Notes
- Do not overbake; the cookies should still feel soft when removed from the oven.
- Ensure cookies are completely cool before drizzling with glaze to prevent melting.
- Substitute honey for molasses for a milder, lighter-colored cookie.
