Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 tablespoons ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cloves
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups molasses
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups coarse sugar or sanding sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and baking soda. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until it becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the molasses and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Scoop out large golf ball-sized portions of dough (about 3 tablespoons each) and roll them into smooth balls.
Roll each dough ball in the coarse or sanding sugar until fully coated, then place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 3 inches of space between each for spreading.
Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven for 10-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly puffed but soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy these super-sized ginger chewies with a glass of milk or a warm cup of tea!
