Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup Granulated Sugar; 1/2 cups Molasses; 1/2 cups Water; 1 Tablespoon Ground Ginger; 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon; 1 teaspoon Ground Cloves; 1 cup Unsalted Butter; 4 cups All-purpose Flour; 1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda; 1/4 teaspoons Fine Salt

Servings: persons

1 cup Granulated Sugar
1/2 cups Molasses
1/2 cups Water
1 Tablespoon Ground Ginger
2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Ground Cloves
1 cup Unsalted Butter
4 cups All-purpose Flour
1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoons Fine Salt

1
In a large heavy-bottom saucepan, heat sugar, molasses, water, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted. Cool for 15 minutes.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Pour flour mixture into cooled molasses mixture; stir until combined. Place dough in a gallon-size zipper storage bag; refrigerate overnight (or up to a week).
3
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Roll dough between two layers of wax paper or parchment until dough is 1/4-inch thick. Cut desired shapes using cutters that have been dipped in flour. Place shapes on parchment or silpat lined sheet pans; bake 8-10 minutes for small to medium cookies (12 minutes or more for very large cookies). When cookies are cool enough to handle without distorting, transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
4
Note: Cookie dough can be stored in the fridge for up to a week before baking. To make cookie dough even further in advance, freeze well wrapped in plastic. Thaw wrapped cookie dough overnight in the fridge before rolling and baking.
