Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons molasses

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg, vanilla extract, and molasses to the creamed mixture, and mix until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still appear slightly soft.

Step 8

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
