These fit the bill. Bonus: Baking these also makes the house smell like the holidays. "This is a family recipe. My husband’s grandmother would make molasses cookies every Christmas," said Shannon Van Dusen, product development coordinator at Lodge. "He requests them every year. Eating one of these is like getting a hug from Grandma! Cue the tears." Make this easy recipe for cookie exchanges, neighbor deliveries, and more. Level Beginner Prep Time 5 minutes Cook Time 9-11 minutes Serves 24 Cook it With Our Cast Iron Baking Pan Ingredients ¾ cup shortening, melted 1 cup sugar ¼ cup molasses, unsulphured 1 egg 2 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking soda ¼ teaspoon cloves ¼ teaspoon ginger 1 teaspoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon salt sugar for rolling Directions Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium-size mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, spices, and salt. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted shortening, sugar, molasses, and egg. Whisk until well blended. Add the dry ingredients and combine. Next, cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill for one hour. Once dough is nicely chilled, use a tablespoon measuring spoon to scoop out the dough. Roll the dough into balls and then roll in sugar. Bake 9-11 minutes. Remove from oven and let cookies sit on baking pan for 3-5 minutes. Next, transfer cookies to wire rack to cool. Baker’s Tips: For easy release of the molasses, spray the measuring cup with some non-stick spray before pouring in the molasses. It will just slip right out! This recipe can easily be doubled, so you can make enough to be the champ of the cookie exchange. Contributed By: Lodge Cast Iron We hope you enjoy our stories and recipes!
