1995 1st Place: Swedish Spice Cookies

2 1/4 c All-purpose flour, sifted

-before measuring 2 ts Baking soda

1 ts Ground cloves

1 ts Ground ginger

1 ts Ground cinnamon

1 ts Ground salt

3/4 c Unsalted butter, softened

1 1/2 c Sugar

1 Egg

1/4 c Molasses

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Have ungreased baking sheet(s) ready.

Sift together the flour, baking soda, spices and salt; set aside. 2. Beat the butter and 1 cup of the granulated sugar in large bowl

of an electric mixer on high speed until light, 1 minute. Add the egg and molasses; mix well. Stop the mixer and add the flour mixture. Mix just until combined. 3. Using about 1 1/2 teaspoons dough for each, roll dough into

balls. Roll in the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar so they are fully coated. Arrange on baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. If you prefer a thin, crisp cookie, they may be flattened with a glass that has been dipped in sugar. 4. Bake until set, 9 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let

cool. First-place winner in the 1995 Chicago Tribune Holiday Cookie Contest: by Colleen Ries -----
