Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Granulated sugar, for rolling

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract, and beat until fully combined.
  • Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
  • Form the Dough Balls: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat lightly.
  • Bake: Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set, but the center is still soft.
  • Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a thicker cookie, chill the dough for about 30 minutes before rolling it into balls.
  • If you like a little extra spice, feel free to add more ginger or cinnamon to taste.
  • These cookies will stay soft and chewy for several days when stored in an airtight container.
