Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon all spice
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 1/4 cups sugar plus more for the tops of cookies
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 tablespoons molasses
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- non-stick spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 335F. Line 2 large baking trays with parchment paper or silpat liners.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves in a medium bowl.
- In a separate large bowl, use a handheld electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the egg, egg yolk, molasses, and vanilla.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients half at a time until it forms a dough.
- Use a 1.5-tablespoon scoop to measure out the dough, roll it into balls, and arrange 8 per large baking tray.
- Pour a little granulated sugar in the bottom of a small, shallow dish. Lightly spray the bottom of a glass with coconut oil spray and dip it in the sugar. Use the sugared bottom to lightly press down each cookie.
- Bake the cookies until they’re set along the outside but still look just a touch doughy in the center, about 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the trays once halfway through.
- Let the cookies cool on the trays for 5 minutes, and then use a thin metal spatula to transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
