Notes
- Pro Tips for Your Success
- Preheat the oven: Be sure to preheat your oven for at least 10-15 minutes. Since the baking temperature on these cookies is on the high side, they can burn on the bottom. Carefully watch the first batch.
- Size of the cookies: Use a heaping teaspoon. Do not make the cookies too big. Again, since the cooking temperature is higher, they may not get done inside if they are too big.
- Quality ingredients: Use only unsulphured blackstrap molasses for a sweeter, cleaner flavor.
- Room temperature ingredients: As with all baking projects, use room temperature ingredients like butter and eggs. Room temperature ingredients will mix better.
- Don’t overmix: Be sure your wet ingredients are well combined. Scrape the bowl often to remove the butter from the bottom of the bowl. Gradually add the flour, but just run the mixer until the flour is incorporated. Overmixing can results in a tough texture.
- Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain their soft texture. A slice of bread in the container can help retain moisture. Store these cookies separately from more delicate flavored cookies. The spices and flavors can ruin more delicate cookies like shortbread.
- Cool the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before taking them off of the sheet and placing them on a wire rack to cool completely.
