Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 1 count large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups cinnamon 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 medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a ball between your palms.

Step 7

Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon sugar until fully coated.

Step 8

Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Gently flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or the bottom of a glass.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked.

Step 10

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
