Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ginger, ground
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves, ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, well packed
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 egg
  • Coarse or granulated sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt, and stir to comibne.
  2. In a seperate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, molasses and egg.
  3. Transfer the wet ingreidents to the large mixing bowl of the dry ingredients and, using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix the dough until everything is well incorporated.
  4. Transfer the mixture to the fridge and allow to chill for at least 1 hour; this will help to ensure the dough holds and the cookies are more tender.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Once the dough has chilled, portion it into 1 tablespoon balls and roll until even. Place rolled balls on a baking sheet, flatten gently, and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  7. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and allow to bake for 8-10 minutes until cookies are cracked and just set around edges (overbaked cookies won’t be chewy).
  8. Remove cookies from the oven and allow to cool slightly before transfering them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. These ginger molasses cookies can be stored in an air-tight container for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
