Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams dark brown sugar, packed
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters unsulphured molasses
- 1 large egg
- 290 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
- 50 grams coarse 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, beat the softened butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the molasses and egg to the mixture and beat until fully combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, cayenne pepper, and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, form dough balls (about 1.5 tablespoons each). Roll each ball in coarse sugar to coat evenly.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges just begin to set but the centers remain soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve your spicy molasses cookies with tea, coffee, or a cold glass of milk, and enjoy!
