Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 60 milliliters molasses
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Step 2
Add the molasses to the creamed mixture and continue blending until well incorporated.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms. It may be slightly sticky but should hold together well.
Step 5
Divide the dough into two portions, flatten each into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 7
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to a thickness of about 3mm (⅛ inch). Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
Step 8
Place the cut-out cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2 cm (1 inch) between each cookie.
Step 9
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
Step 10
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Repeat the rolling, cutting, and baking process with the remaining dough.
Step 12
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
