Ingredients
24 Servings
- 480 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 egg
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar for rolling
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 180 milliliters molasses
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 170 grams softened butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and molasses, and beat until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 5
Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and roll them in granulated sugar. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 6
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
