Inspiring people to create every day recipes
For the recipe you’ll need flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, ground cloves, salt, butter, brown sugar, eggs and molasses. This recipe has a yield of 50 large cookies, so for the first time baking, I made half a recipe. As this recipe is quite old, it called for margarine, which I substituted with unsalted butter. Dark brown sugar has more molasses (6.5%) versus light brown (3.5%) and, therefore, a more intense flavor that some may consider as similar to caramel or toffee. As this recipe called for one pound of brown sugar, I used my digital kitchen scale to weigh out the correct amount. I also used my KitchenAid hand mixer to whip up the dough. Once done, it was time to scoop out the cookies. Using the convection setting on my oven, I baked the cookies for just about 15 minutes, rotating and switching shelves half way through. After cooling, I gave one a try. A delicious, not to sweet cookie, that had crisp edges with a chewy middle. So if you have time before Thanksgiving and have all the ingredients on hand, perhaps a batch of cookies for your intimate gathering would be most appreciated.
