Every family has their all-time favorite Christmas Cookies. These are ours. My Mom and Grandma always called them King’s Cringles.

(No idea why – that’s just how it was). Whatever you call these, they’re delicious. I even had a friend come to me and say, “I don’t normally like these kinds of cookies, but I could eat every. last. one. They’re amazing.” So even if you think you’re not a molasses/spice cookie person? Maybe give these a try…and you’ll be my latest convert. πŸ˜€

The BEST Christmas cookie! Chewy on the edges, and soft on the inside. A family favorite recipe for perfectly spicy, molasses-y cookies. We call them King's Cringles and they are everything you'd ever want in a molasses spice cookie. Make them today!

You’ll Need:

  • Hand mixer or kitchenaid
  • Large spoon or (I like to use) one of these handy dandy scoops
  • Cookie sheets
  • Parchment paper or these non-stick pan liners
  • Cooling rack


Ingredients

  • 3/4 c. butter
  • 1 c. brown sugar (I like the dark brown sugar for more depth, but this is a personal preference) πŸ˜‰
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 c. molasses
  • 2 1/2 c. flour
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
  • 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
  • white sugar for rolling dough balls


Method to the Madness Deliciousness

  • In a large bowl (or your kitchenaid bowl, if using) cream together the butter, brown sugar and egg until thoroughly combined.
  • Add molasses
  • Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Scoop and shape dough into balls and roll in white sugar

Baker’s Note: if you wish to have perfectly round balls of dough, you probably shouldn’t let little 3 yr. old boys help roll the balls for you. I however, think they’re adorable – and you won’t even know the difference once they’re baked. πŸ˜‰

  • Bake at 375* for 10 minutes (ovens may vary, so watch them near the end. You’re looking for those gorgeous cracks on top/edges).

Now that your house smells like Heaven, gather your people, light the fireplace, snuggle up with a cozy blanket and a cup of coffee (or milk, if that’s your jam- I won’t judge). Grab a ginormous plateful few of these perfectly chewy, spicy cookies and savor the absolute best flavors of the season.
