Elevator Lady Spice Cookies: A Sweet Treat for Knitters

As knitters, we’re always on the lookout for delicious treats to enjoy while we’re working on our latest projects. And what’s better than a warm, fresh-baked cookie straight from the oven? In the latest issue of Interweave Knits Magazine, we’re thrilled to share a recipe for Elevator Lady Spice Cookies that’s sure to become a new favorite.

The Elevator Lady Spice Cookies get their name from the building where the recipe originated – the iconic Chrysler Building in New York City. The cookies have been a beloved tradition among the building’s employees for decades, and it’s easy to see why. With a blend of warm spices, sweet molasses, and crunchy texture, these cookies are the perfect accompaniment to a cozy evening of knitting.

So, what makes these cookies so special? For starters, the combination of spices is what really sets them apart. The recipe calls for a blend of cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, which gives the cookies a warm, aromatic flavor that’s perfect for the fall and winter seasons. But it’s not just the spices that make these cookies special – it’s also the addition of molasses, which adds a deep, rich flavor and a lovely dark color to the cookies.

But don’t just take our word for it – try the recipe for yourself! Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Decorations of your choice (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the molasses and eggs until well combined, then beat in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
  6. Scoop the dough into balls, about 1 tablespoon each. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These cookies are perfect for snacking on while you’re working on your latest knitting project. Simply store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. And if you’re feeling extra festive, you can even decorate the cookies with a little powdered sugar or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

So go ahead, grab a glass of milk, and get cozy with a plate of Elevator Lady Spice Cookies. Your taste buds – and your knitting needles – will thank you!
