Butterscotch and Chocolate Chip Molasses Cookies
Description
Butterscotch and Chocolate Chip Molasses Cookies bring together melted unsalted butter, sugar, and molasses with a blend of aromatic spices including cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. The batter is enhanced with chocolate and butterscotch chips for added richness. After chilling the dough to firm it and deepen flavors, the dough is rolled into balls and coated in sugar before baking at 350°F. The result is a cookie with a chewy texture inside and a slightly crunchy sugar-coated shell. These cookies maintain a tender crumb reinforced by warm molasses notes and a cinnamon undertone.
The baking process ensures the edges develop a delicate crispness while the center stays moist and soft. The dual chips complement the spiced molasses base with creamy sweetness and chocolate depth. These cookies are ideal for dessert or a snack to pair with coffee or tea.
Chilling the dough before baking is essential to control spreading and develop the flavors steadily. Letting the cookies cool on the pan before moving them allows them to set properly and retain texture.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup white sugar plus extra for rolling
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup dark molasses
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour scooped and leveled
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon cloves ground
- ½ teaspoon ginger powdered
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
- ¾ cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
- In a large stand mixer combine the butter, sugar, egg and molasses. Mix for a minute or two until well combined.
- In another large bowl, stir together the flour, cloves, ginger, cinnamon and baking soda. Slowly add the flour mixture to the molasses mixture and mix until evenly combined. Fold in the butterscotch and chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Once chilled, scoop 2 tablespoons of dough at a time and roll into balls. Roll them around in a small cup of sugar and set onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes and then transfer the cookies onto a cooling rack to continue to cool.
Notes
- You can replace the butterscotch chips with white chocolate or peanut butter chips to vary the flavor profile.
