Instructions
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and Truvia Brown Sugar Blend with an electric mixer. Beat in egg and molasses until well blended.
In another bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and spices. Stir into the creamed mixture until blended. Chill for at least an hour or overnight if you are making it the next day. When you are ready to bake, remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it sit for about 10 minutes so that’s it’s easy to roll out.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Use a rolling pin to roll the chilled dough so it is easy for you to use a cookie cutter to cut the desired shapes.
Place the cut shapes onto the baking sheet and top with the Truvia Cane Sugar Blend. This will bake into the cookies.
Bake for 8 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack for 2 minutes, then remove to rack to cool completely.
Icing Directions
In a small bowl, mix both the powdered sugar and the milk. Whisk until smooth. Adjust the quantity of the milk if needed.
Notes
Molasses Cookies Recipe Notes:
You can use plastic wrap to chill the dough, or cover the dough in the mixing bowl with a plastic wrap.
If you accidentally overcook the cookies, they will not be as soft.
The more milk you use to make the icing the lighter it will be. Because of the level of the sweetness that was added into the cookies, I opt for a lighter icing. Please adjust it to your taste buds.
