5-Ingredient Molasses Cookie
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. In the large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter and molasses together until thoroughly combined. Beat in egg until incorporated, then flour, baking powder and spice, if using.
- Using a small cookie scoop (1-teaspoon capacity) or spoon, portion dough into 3/4-inch balls (like the size of a small marble) on parchment-lined sheets about 2-inches apart. (There will be 12 per sheet.)
- Bake cookies, rotating halfway through, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies have spread, puffed and browned at the edges. Cool cookies on pans 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack using a thin spatula.
