Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 60 milliliters molasses
- 1 piece large egg
- 240 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 additional 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 and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Add the molasses and the egg to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Scoop out heaping tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls with your hands.
Roll each ball in the additional 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 in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
