Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.33 cup Molasses
• 1 Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Turbinado sugar or coarse sugar (optional, for rolling)

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, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until fully combined.

Step 5

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

Step 6

If desired, pour the turbinado sugar into a small dish. Scoop 1.5-tablespoon-sized portions of dough (or use a cookie scoop), and roll each ball in the sugar to coat.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked (they will firm up as they cool).

Step 9

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

Step 10

Enjoy these Maine Multi-Spice Cookies with your favorite warm beverage or share them with friends and family!
