Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup unsulfured molasses
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Set aside.
- Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg, molasses, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Step 5: Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This step is important to enhance flavor and prevent excessive spreading during baking.
- Step 6: Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Step 7: Shape the Cookies: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat, and place it on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between cookies.
- Step 8: Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. The cookies will look slightly soft and underbaked in the center when you remove them, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Step 9: Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
