Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup Molasses
- 1 whole Large egg
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the molasses and egg to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, scoop out dough and roll it into 1-inch balls.
Place the granulated sugar in a small bowl. Roll each dough ball in the sugar until fully coated.
Arrange the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the tops are crinkled. Do not overbake; the centers should remain soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
