Ginger Molasses Cookies
Description
This cookie recipe starts by creaming butter and sugar together for a light base. Molasses and egg are added for moisture and rich flavor. The dry ingredients combine flour with ground ginger, cloves, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt for warmth and leavening.
Chilling the dough overnight firms it and allows the flavors to meld, making shaping easier. Rolling dough balls in sugar before baking adds a sparkling crunch to the outside. Baking is precise—just 10-12 minutes—so cookies remain soft inside with a delicate chew.
These sugar-coated ginger cookies offer contrasting textures and genuine spice balance, suitable for holiday baking or everyday treats.
