Delicious Ginger Spice Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
36
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt.

    Sifting the flour can help avoid lumps.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars

    In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

    Use room temperature butter for best results.
  4. Add Egg and Molasses

    Beat in the egg, molasses, and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

    Do not overmix; stop when the flour is just incorporated.
  6. Shape Cookies

    Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Leave space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
  7. Bake

    Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are soft.

    Cookies will continue to harden as they cool.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Enjoy with a glass of milk!
