Ingredients

• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.75 cup coconut oil, melted
• 0.25 cup molasses
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar and melted coconut oil. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until a dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky but manageable.

Step 6

Place the granulated sugar in a shallow bowl. Scoop out tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls. Then roll each ball in the granulated sugar until fully coated.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Gently flatten each dough ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or the palm of your hand.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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