Ingredients

• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cups brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cups molasses
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the molasses and egg to the butter mixture, mixing until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a thick and slightly sticky dough forms.

Step 6

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the cookie dough and roll them into balls using your hands.

Step 7

Roll each dough ball in the granulated sugar until fully coated.

Step 8

Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes, or until the tops are set and slightly crinkled. They will still be soft in the center but will firm up as they cool.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve with a glass of milk or a cup of tea and enjoy!
