Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup molasses
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy cream and molasses together until smooth and well combined, creating a rich, sweet base.
- Combine mixtures: Gently fold the dry flour mixture into the wet molasses and cream mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing and keep the cookies tender.
- Shape the cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow spreading during baking.
- Bake the cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before transferring to a plate. This helps them set and avoids breakage.
Notes
- Make sure not to overmix the dough to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
- Spacing cookies properly on the sheet prevents them from merging during baking.
- For a deeper flavor, you can use dark molasses.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to a week.
- These cookies pair wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee.
