- Category: Appetizers
- Method: Baking
- Cuisine: European
- Diet: Gluten Free (with gluten-free flour option)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Optional: nutmeg and ginger to taste (for extra spice)
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened (or plant-based butter for vegan version)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons molasses or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Prepare the Dough: Start by creaming softened butter with brown sugar until light and fluffy. Then, mix in molasses and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and any additional spices before gradually combining with the wet ingredients to form a soft dough.
- Shape the Cookies: Roll the dough into small balls and place them evenly spaced on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Gently flatten each ball with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to create thin, crispy cookies.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Monitor closely to avoid overbaking, which can make cookies too hard.
- Cool and Enjoy: Once out of the oven, allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This helps them crisp up perfectly. Then, serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for easier mixing and even dough texture.
- Don’t overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies.
- If possible, chill dough for 30 minutes to improve shape and enhance flavor.
- Watch baking time carefully; ovens vary, so start checking a minute or two early.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain crispness and freshness up to two weeks.
- For freezing, place cookies with parchment paper between layers in a sealed bag; store up to three months.
- Reheat cookies at 300°F for 3-5 minutes or microwave briefly (10 seconds) to revive freshness.
