Ingredients

Servings:
24
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Beat in the egg and molasses until well combined.

    Mix until fully incorporated to ensure a smooth dough.
  5. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep the cookies tender.
  6. Shape Cookies

    Form the dough into balls and roll them in granulated sugar.

    Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes.
  7. Bake the Cookies

    Place on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are set.

    Let them cool slightly on the tray before moving to a rack.
