Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons molasses
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and molasses to the creamed mixture, and mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still appear slightly soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
