Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups dark brown sugar
- 0.5 cups molasses
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 3.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoons ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the butter, granulated sugar, and dark brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the molasses and beat until fully incorporated.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well mixed before adding the next.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, and salt until evenly combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll each into a smooth ball. Roll each ball in the granulated sugar meant for coating.
Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 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 appear slightly underbaked. Avoid overbaking for soft and chewy cookies.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
