- 100 grams Molasses
- 1 whole Large egg
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Granulated sugar (for rolling)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the molasses and egg to the butter mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls.
Step 8
Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat evenly.
Step 9
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart to allow for spreading.
Step 10
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers appear slightly underbaked.
Step 11
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12
Serve and enjoy your soft spicy molasses cookies!
