Soft Chocolate Molasses Cookies
Soft Chocolate Molasses Cookies is From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes roughly 40 minutes. A mixture of flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so tasty.
Instructions
Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions and preheat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In large bowl, whisk butter with brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and salt until combined.
Whisk in egg, vanilla, and molasses.
In medium bowl, whisk flour with cocoa and baking soda.
Whisk into wet mixture until just combined. Chill until firm, about 10 to 20 minutes.
Place remaining 1/2 cup sugar in bowl.
Using scoop or 1/4 cup measure, portion dough into balls and roll in sugar. Space evenly on pans and gently press dough balls to about 3/4 inch thick.
Bake just until puffed and beginning to crack, 7 to 8 minutes, rotating pans from top to bottom and front to back halfway through baking.
Immediately after removing from oven, give pans a hard tap and gently press center of each cookie to deflate (see note).
Let cookies cool on pan 2 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
