Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup molasses
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup confectioners' sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add egg and mix until combined. Beat in molasses.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, taking care not to over-mix.
- Place 3 tablespoon granulated sugar in a medium bowl and ⅓ cup confectioners' sugar in a separate medium bowl. Using your hands, form balls with about 2 tablespoon of dough at a time (I use a #40 cookie scoop to scoop dough). Roll balls in granulated sugar to coat and then roll in confectioners' sugar to coat. Place on baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes until cookies are just turning golden around edges but are still soft. Let cool on pan for a few minutes before moving to metal rack to cool completely.
