These little bad boys tend to me a fan favorite. Even the guy who hates everything homey and good told me that they're good. I always take it as a compliment. They are a spicier cookie and even the boy likes them.
3/4 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 heaping tsp ground cloves
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp fresh ground cardamom
1/4 tsp white pepper
1 1/2 tbsp ground ginger
white sugar to roll balls in
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
1) Mix butter & sugar together until smooth. Add egg & molasses and mix well.
2) In a seperate bowl mix all dry ingredients together and whisk.
3) Add dry ingredients slowly to wet mixture and blend well.
4) Form into 1 inch balls, roll until completely coated in white sugar and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
5) Using a small square of parchment paper and a heavy flat bottomed glass, press down and flatten the balls into cookies. I use a Guinness pint glass and make the cookies about the same size as the bottom of the pint glass.
6) Bake 8-10 minutes (longer if you prefer a true snap cookie)
Makes about 3 dozen.
