Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 80 ml molasses
- 1 piece large egg
- 300 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
- 50 grams granulated sugar (for rolling)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Mix in the molasses and egg until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, form dough balls approximately 1.5 inches in diameter.
Step 7
Roll each dough ball lightly in the extra granulated sugar to coat.
Step 8
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking trays, spacing them about 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 tops are slightly cracked. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.
Step 10
Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Serve with a warm beverage or enjoy as is. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
