Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar, packed
- 100 grams Molasses
- 1 whole Large egg
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the molasses and egg to the butter mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls.
Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat evenly.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart to allow for spreading.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers appear slightly underbaked.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your soft spicy molasses cookies!
