These are so perfect and yummy-my mom makes these every Christmas and every Christmas I help and eat about half the delicious dough raw!! lol These couldn't be easier, either. All the spices mix together to give you the perfect dough. Try these, you won't be disappointed. Ingredients:
3 1/4 cups flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 tablespoons grated orange zest |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 tablespoon ground ginger |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar |
1 cup unsalted butter or 1 cup margarine |
2 tablespoons dark molasses |
1 tablespoon water |
1 large egg |
Directions:
1. Mix all dry ingredients together and cut in the butter.
2. Add the wet ingredients. Knead a few seconds.
3. Roll out on a lightly floured surface pretty thick, about 1/4 inch. Cut out cookies and bake at 350 degrees F for 12-14 minutes.
4. *NOTE: Cookies should be baked but still soft and chewy, not crisp. Serving size is approximate.
