    Model Bakery's Ginger Molasses Cookies


    Source of Recipe


    Model Bakery (St. Helena, California) --Posted to RC by Catgurrl

    List of Ingredients




    2¼ cups (4½ sticks) butter
    2½ cups sugar
    3 eggs
    ¾ cup dark molasses
    1½ tsp vanilla
    8 cups pastry flour
    1½ tsp baking soda
    1½ tsp salt
    1 Tbsp plus ¼ tsp cinnamon
    1 Tbsp plus ¼ tsp cloves
    1 Tbsp plus ¼ tsp ground ginger
    ½ cup coarse or sanding sugar (more as needed)



    Recipe




    In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, until each is incorporated. Add in the molasses and vanilla.

    In a separate large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. With the mixer running, begin adding the dry ingredients, a little at a time, until fully incorporated to form a dough. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

    Heat the oven to 350° F. Use an ice cream scoop to scoop the dough into balls. Roll each ball in the coarse sugar, then place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving 3 inches between each cookie. Bake the cookies until lightly golden and set, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating halfway through for even coloring. Cool the cookies, then store in an airtight container.

    Makes 2½ dozen large cookies.
