Ingredients

• 170 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Dark brown sugar
• 60 grams Granulated sugar
• 80 milliliters Molasses
• 1 piece Large egg
• 280 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 120 grams Dried cranberries
• 50 grams Granulated sugar (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 3

Add the molasses and the egg to the bowl, and mix until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the dried cranberries using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Scoop the dough into approximately 1.5-tablespoon portions and roll into balls. Roll each ball in the extra granulated sugar to coat evenly.

Step 8

Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets to allow room for spreading.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly underdone. Do not overbake to ensure a chewy texture.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
