Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Brown sugar, packed
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 80 milliliters Unsulphured molasses
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 280 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 50 grams Granulated sugar (for rolling)
- 200 grams Chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, and ground cinnamon until evenly distributed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing the dough.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter.
Roll each dough ball in the granulated sugar, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked. This will ensure a chewy texture.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve your Chocolate Chip Molasses Cookies warm with a glass of milk, or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
