ECK

Instructions: 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl mix together the room temperature butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Do not rush this process. I like to use a hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Mix for about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add molasses and eggs into the butter-sugar mixture and mix until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  • Pour flour mixture into sugar and butter mixture. Stir to combine but don’t over mix.
  • Once combined, roll the dough into small 1 inch balls and place in the refrigerator. If you have limited space simply place whole bowl of dough into the fridge and allow to cool for 90 minutes.
  • Drop dough balls into white sugar and unsure you coat them on all sides. Place one baking sheet and give about 2 inches between cookies as they will spread.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes and them remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Don’t skip this step. After five minutes, remove from baking sheet and place on cooling rack for 10 minutes. Ok, now your are good to dig in!
