Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Set this mix aside; we’ll come back to it soon.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until it’s smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the egg and molasses to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Don’t overdo it; we want those cookies soft!
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form dough balls about 1 inch in diameter. Roll each ball in granulated sugar until coated.
- Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. They will spread out as they bake.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. They’ll continue to firm up as they cool.
- Once out of the oven, let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
