Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 ml Molasses
- 1 piece Large egg
- 210 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Optional: Granulated sugar for rolling
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Add the molasses and egg to the bowl, and mix on medium speed until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt until evenly combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll into balls. If desired, roll the balls in granulated sugar for added texture and sweetness.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving approximately 2 inches of space between each ball to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers appear slightly underbaked. Avoid overbaking to maintain the cookies' soft texture.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
