Ingredients

• 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cups Molasses
• 1 unit Large egg
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the molasses and egg to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until fully combined and smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined into a thick dough. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Place the granulated sugar for rolling in a shallow bowl. Scoop 1-tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls between your hands.

Step 7

Roll each dough ball in the sugar to coat evenly and place on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops have crinkled. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft and chewy.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
