Gourmet

FOOLPROOF BY DESIGN

You select the dish, and Gourmet does the rest. Your speed oven has been

programmed with a host of chef-tested dishes. Simply select the type of

food you wish to prepare, and the oven sets the optimal cooking mode and

adjusts the temperature on its own—sometimes using multiple modes and

temperatures—for guesswork-free, delicious results. Sit back and enjoy the

satisfaction of cooking an extraordinary meal without worry.

Molasses Cookies

Sparkling with sugar on the outside, rich and chewy

in the middle, these cookies are a welcomed

addition to your cookie jar’s rotation.

PREPARATION METHOD

1. Line two small baking sheets with parchment paper. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the ﬂour, baking soda,

cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice, pepper, and salt. Set aside. 3. Using a stand mixer, cream the butter and both

sugars on medium-high speed until light and ﬂuy. 4. Reduce the speed to medium-low, add the egg yolk and

vanilla extract, and mix until thoroughly combined. 5. Add the molasses, mixing until fully incorporated. 6. Add the

dry ingredients, mix until just incorporated. 7. Place the granulated sugar for rolling in a small bowl. Using a small

cookie scoop, scoop the dough and roll into a ball. Roll the ball in sugar to coat and place on the prepared baking

sheets. Press the dough down slightly. Repeat with the remaining dough. 8. With racks on position “1” and “2,” select

Gourmet Mode, then Cookies, and allow the oven to preheat. 9. Once preheated, place the trays into the oven and

press Start. 10. Once baked, remove the cookies and cool on a wire rack.
