Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters molasses
- 1 unit large egg
- 310 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper (secret ingredient)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 50 grams granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the molasses and egg to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground black pepper, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Scoop the dough into 1-tablespoon-sized balls and roll each ball in the extra granulated sugar to coat.
Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly crisp and the centers are puffed. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve with tea, coffee, or milk, and watch the secret ingredient surprise your taste buds!
