Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 80 ml molasses
- 1 large egg
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons fine salt
- 30 grams confectioners' sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the molasses and egg to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until fully combined and smooth.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and fine salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough into 1.5-tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 5 cm apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies puffed and tender.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust the cooled cookies lightly with confectioners' sugar before serving for a festive touch.
