—Not On Website
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup molasses
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
Additional sugar (sparkling or granulated) for rolling/ sprinkling
Directions
In a large stand mixer, cream butter, sugar, egg, molasses, and peanut butter together on medium speed with the paddle attachment until completely combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cloves, cinnamon, and baking soda. On low speed, gradually mix the dry ingredients into the batter until a dough forms. Cover and chill 1-2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Scoop dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons each*), roll them in granulated sugar or sprinkle course sparkling sugar on top, and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet (6-8 cookies per sheet).
Bake for 11-14 minutes. The top will be crackled and the center slightly wet. Let cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack. Repeat with remaining dough.
Notes
*These are large cookies. If you would like smaller cookies, you can use less dough and decrease the baking time slightly.
