Ingredients
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Molasses
- 1 Large egg
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar (for rolling)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Step 3
Add the molasses and egg, and beat until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the extra granulated sugar to coat evenly.
Step 7
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve the cookies once cooled, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
