Ingredients

• 113 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 60 ml Molasses
• 1 large Egg
• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 50 grams Additional sugar (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the molasses and egg to the bowl and beat until fully combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until the dough just comes together.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll each piece into a ball.

Step 7

Roll each dough ball in the additional sugar to coat evenly.

Step 8

Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
