Ingredients Needed

  • Flour + Baking soda + Ground cinnamon
  • Butter
  • Sugar
  • Egg white
  • Molasses
  • Powdered sugar
  • Milk

Ingredients Notes

Molasses

Any type ( black, light, blackstrap, etc) will do the trick with these cookies. It just depends on your taste preference. As a guide, the lighter your molasses, the sweeter it is. See the recipe card for the brand I used.

Sugar

If desired, you can use brown sugar for these.

Dried Spices

The original recipe calls for ginger, allspice and cloves. Honestly, I didn’t have these on hand, so, I omitted them and stuck with just ground cinnamon. If you desire, you can add these to your cookies for additional flavor.

Storage

Keep any leftovers in a covered container. You can store them at room temperature or in the refrigerator. If you refrigerate them, they will stay good for a bit longer.

Can I Freeze These?

Yes. Let them cool completely. Then, store in an airtight, freezer safe, covered container or storage bag. They will be good for a couple of months.
