Report
Thin, crispy and flavored with cinnamon, ginger and cloves, they are tasty and relatively low in calories.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup mild molasses or half molasses and half maple syrup
- 1/4 cup heavy cream or non-dairy cream
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
Instructions
- In large bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy, scraping bowl as needed. Beat in molasses and cream until well-blended.
- Mix flours with baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. Add to butter mixture and mix until blended.
- Divide dough into 4 pieces and flatten so they chill faster. Separate pieces with wax paper or plastic, seal (I put into a sealed container to avoid plastic use) and refrigerate 1-2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Between two pieces of floured wax paper, roll first piece of dough to 1/8 inch thick. Using a floured cookie cutter, cut dough into cookies. Place cookies, 1 inch apart, on an ungreased cookie sheet. Place trimmings back in refrigerator to re-roll at end.
- Bake cookies 9 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Let cookies firm up on cookie sheet for a minute or two then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Repeat rolling and cutting with remaining dough and trimmings.
Notes
- The yield (and therefore calorie count) will vary based on thickness and cookie cutter size.
- Be sure to roll these cookies very thin and don't underbake them to achieve the delightful crispness that characterizes this cookie.
