Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 80 ml molasses
- 1 piece large egg
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 50 grams granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the molasses and egg until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, form dough balls approximately 1.5 inches in diameter.
Roll each dough ball lightly in the extra granulated sugar to coat.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking trays, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve with a warm beverage or enjoy as is. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
