Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 260 grams, or white whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon cloves ground
  • ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
  • ½ cup butter softened, unsalted
  • ½ cup light brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • cup unsulphured molasses or dark molasses
  • 1 egg at room temp
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar for rolling, or cane sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Set aside.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter, brown sugar and white sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in molasses, egg and vanilla until combined.
  4. With the mixer on low, gradually add the flour mixture, beating just until incorporated.
  5. Chill dough for 1 hour
  6. Using hands, roll dough into 3/4-1 inch balls. Place sugar in a shallow bowl and roll each ball of dough in the sugar to coat. Transfer cookies to prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until dark golden brown and puffy, rotating the baking sheet halfway through baking. Remove from oven and let them cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
