Ingredients
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup molasses
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together using an electric hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the egg and molasses to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until fully combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Place the granulated sugar in a small bowl. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll each piece into a ball. Roll each ball in the granulated sugar to coat.
Step 7
Arrange the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart, as they will spread while baking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underdone. Do not overbake for soft cookies.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve the cookies once cooled or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
