Ingredients for Mini Drop Sugar Cookies:
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup molasses
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
- Mix the Dough: Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add almond extract, then gradually stir in flour, mixing until dough comes together.
- Shape the Cookies: Scoop small portions of dough, roll them into balls, and place on the prepared baking sheets. No need to flatten them.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them as they bake quickly.
- Cool and Serve: Cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Optionally, decorate with colored sugar or drizzle with icing.
Notes
- Use Room Temperature Butter: Softened butter ensures a smoother dough.
- Don’t Overmix the Dough: Mix just until combined to maintain a soft texture.
- Customize the Flavor: Replace almond extract with vanilla or lemon extract for a different twist.
- Decorate for the Season: Add festive touches like sprinkles or icing for a holiday treat.
