“Mama Jane” is Oaktown co-founder Erica's best friend from high school’s mom. We spent many afternoons and weekends in the cozy breakfast nook of her kitchen, snacking on her scrumptious cookies or fresh-baked bread.
Now, Mama Jane is a devoted Oaktown Spice Shop customer, even though she still lives in Southern California.
She was tickled that I wanted her recipe. When I wrote her to ask, she said, “I had to laugh! I’ve been making these since I was 12 years old, but they weren’t perfected until I was in my 60’s and started using Oaktown Spice spices!” Thank you, Mama Jane!
These molasses cookies really sing with the addition of our freshly ground cloves, cinnamon and ginger. Thick and chewy with crackled sugary tops, they’re perfect for an after-school snack with cold milk.
¾ teaspoon ground cloves
1 ½ teaspoons Vietnamese cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
2-3 tablespoons (or more) crystallized ginger (optional)
Beat shortening or butter, sugar, egg, and molasses thoroughly. In a separate bowl, mix all dry ingredients together. Combine with butter mixture and stir everything together. Chill dough for about an hour.
Dip tops of the balls into a bowl of water and then into a bowl of the crunchy sugar. Place sugared side up on baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Hi Carla,
Thanks for your question, I’m glad you enjoyed the cookies! I haven’t made them myself, but checked with Erica (the recipe writer/Oaktown Spice Shop owner) and she recommended a food storage container at a cool temperature. She says she just made a batch on Saturday and they are still fresh today (Modnay) using this method. If you are looking to keep them for an extended period of time, you can also try sealing them in an airtight container and freezing them.
Happy holidays!
