At my design studio, we like to offer our clients a cup of tea or coffee during our meetings. I love to prep a jar of these Moravian Spice Cookies to accompany that cup and break the ice before we begin our discussion of art and interior design. That extra touch of homemade, makes designing one’s own house, inspirational.
Described as a thin, crisp cookie using a blend of spices and molasses, this infamous recipe can date back to the 18th century and loved all across Colonial America.
To make Moravian Spice Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:
Melt butter, over low heat until the butter turns light brown.
Add in the molasses, brown sugar and oil and continue stirring until the sugar is melted.
Transfer to a mixing bowl and let it cool for 5 mins.
Add the cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice and baking soda. Mix well.
Adding ½ cup of flour at a time, beating continuously until just blended.
Place the dough onto a large sheet of plastic wrap and flatten into a disk shape. Wrap up the dough with the plastic and let it rest for 1-2 hours before rolling.
NOTE: dough can be made up to three days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before rolling.
Preheat oven to 350 °F.
Line baking trays with parchment paper.
Divide the dough in half and rewear the unused portion. Roll out the dough on a floured surface as thin as possible (less than 1/16 inch). Cut out the cookies with a small 2 inch cutter and place them about ¼ inch apart, on the baking sheets.
Bake each sheet in preheated oven for 8-10 mins or until the cookies are crisp and just beginning to brown on the edges.
Remove the cookies from the oven immediately and place on cooling rack for 5-10 mins. Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
Try this Moravian Spice Cookie in your own client meeting, for that extra practical and posh touch. Let us know and tag #cookmerecipes in your own baking posts!
