Ingredients

• 170 grams unsalted butter
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 60 milliliters molasses
• 1 large egg
• 240 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 100 grams coarse sugar (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a cohesive dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, form the dough into small balls about 1 inch in diameter.

Step 7

Roll each dough ball in the coarse sugar, ensuring it is well coated, and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve your crispy ginger cookies alongside a warm cup of tea or coffee, and enjoy!
