• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Ground ginger

📝 Instructions

13 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a handheld or stand mixer.

3. Add the molasses and egg to the creamed mixture, beating until fully incorporated.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, baking soda, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.

7. While the dough is chilling, prepare the rolling mixture by combining the brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl.

8. Once chilled, use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion out the dough, rolling each piece into 1-inch balls.

9. Roll each ball in the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture until fully coated.

10. Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

11. Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. Avoid overbaking for a chewy texture.

12. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

13. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy!
