These chewy and soft ginger cookies are especially delicious, and one we always make during the holidays!

Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar, plus more for rolling
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup molasses
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon applesauce
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix sugar, butter, molasses, egg, and applesauce with a hand mixer.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
- Combine dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Scoop with a cookie scoop then roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in white sugar.
- Place on an un-greased cookie sheet and bake for 8 minutes. (While a batch is baking, cover and place the remaining dough in the fridge to chill so it's easier to scoop and roll.) Cookies will puff and then flatten. Cool on a wire rack.
- Let cookies sit on the cookie sheet for a few minutes, then remove to a rack to cool.
Notes
- Store cookie dough. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days or place in a freezer Ziploc and freeze for up to 3 months.
- Store baked cookies. Store in an airtight container on the counter for 7-10 days or in the freezer for 4-6 months.
