Archway Molasses Cookies
Ingredients:
– 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1 teaspoon ground ginger
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup vegan butter, softened
– 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
– 1/4 cup molasses
– 1/4 cup maple syrup
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Granulated sugar for rolling
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the vegan butter and brown sugar together until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the molasses, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
6. Place some granulated sugar in a shallow bowl. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll them in the sugar until coated.
7. Arrange the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each for spreading.
8. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern on top.
9. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until set but still soft in the center.
10. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
