Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 tablespoons ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cloves
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups molasses
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups coarse sugar or sanding sugar (for rolling)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and baking soda. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until it becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the molasses and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 5
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Scoop out large golf ball-sized portions of dough (about 3 tablespoons each) and roll them into smooth balls.
Step 7
Roll each dough ball in the coarse or sanding sugar until fully coated, then place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 3 inches of space between each for spreading.
Step 8
Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven for 10-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly puffed but soft.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy these super-sized ginger chewies with a glass of milk or a warm cup of tea!
