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, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the solid coconut oil and brown sugar together until creamy and smooth.

Step 4

Add the egg, molasses, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture and beat until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll it into balls approximately 1.5 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Roll each ball in the granulated sugar until fully coated.

Step 8

Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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