Soft Molasses Cookies Recipe | Cook the Book

Prep25 mins
Cook20 mins
Chill/Cool80 mins
Total2 hrs 5 mins
Serves44 cookies

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup (2 sticks, 8 ounces) unsalted butter

  • 1 cup (7 ounces) sugar, plus more for coating the dough

  • 1/2 cup (6 ounces) molasses

  • 2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon

  • 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cloves

  • 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger

  • 2 large eggs

  • 3 1/2 cups (14 3/4 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour


  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add molasses while mixing at a slow speed, then baking soda, salt, and spices. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is incorporated. Stir in flour. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.

  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.

  3. Shape or scoop the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls; a tablespoon cookie scoop works well here. Roll them in granulated sugar and put them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them.

  4. Bake cookies for 10 minutes. After taking them out of the oven, allow cookies to cool on the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a rack to finish cooling.

Swiss Chicken Casserole

This was an  easy & tasty casserole, My girls also loved it, which makes it a win win!  I served it with green beans and buttermilk biscuits, which was a great combination.  I have to admit that I forgot to buy the cream of chicken so I had to use the cream of mushroom that I had in the pantry.  I think it was still great!  6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts 6 slices Swiss cheese 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup 1/4 cup milk 2 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix          (Pepperidge Farm Herb Blend is good) 1/4 cup butter Preheat oven to 350.  Arrange chicken in 12x8x2 baking dish.  Top with Swiss cheese slices.  Combine soup and milk and stir well.  Spoon mixture over chicken and sprinkle with stuffing mix.  Drizzle butter or margarine over crumbs.  Bake for 50 minutes and enjoy!

There is a washable cloth that is attached to the base by Velcro. The unit comes with four of these cloths, two for floors, two for carpets. To use: Pour water into the tank which is closed by a screw cap. No additives are needed as the steam will do the cleaning. To warm the water, simply plug in the unit. While warming, you must prepare your floors by vacuuming or sweeping. The green light will come on when the water is hot enough to start yo...
