Ingredients
2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1 Tsp Baking Soda
1 Tsp Cinnamon
1 Tsp Ground Ginger
½ Tsp Salt
¼ Tsp Ground Nutmeg
¼ Tsp Ground Cloves
½ Cup Butter (softened)
½ Cup Brown Sugar
1/3 Cup Molasses
1 Large Egg
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
½ Cup Coarse Sugar
Directions
- Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, salt, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter with brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the molasses, beating until combined. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing until fully combined.
- With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Chill the cookie dough for at least 2 hours (or until firm).
- Remove the cookie dough from the fridge. Portion the dough into individual balls (about 2 tsp each). Roll each portion into a ball and coat them in the coarse sugar, covering all sides. Place the cookies two inches apart on a lined baking sheet. Chill the cookies for another 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F degrees.
- Next, use the back of a small spoon to create an indentation in the center of each cookie. Then, squeeze a dollop Crofter’s Organic Strawberry Squeeze-able Fruit Spread in the center of half of the cookies. Repeat process using Crofter’s Organic Berry Harvest Squeeze-able Fruit Spread for the rest of the cookies.
- Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes (or until the bottoms of the cookies are lightly golden). Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy or store in the fridge in an air-tight container.
