Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsulphured molasses
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar, for rolling
Instructions
- Cream the butter and sugar. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
- Add wet ingredients. Beat in the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Roll into balls. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Coat in sugar. Roll each ball in granulated sugar, coating it evenly.
- Bake. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
- Cool. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
