Ingredients
- 1/2 cup molasses1
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar² packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger3
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup butter softened
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour4 properly measured
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, stir together the molasses, sugar, cinnamon, and ginger.
- Microwave until the brown sugar has melted, about 60 seconds.
- Add the butter, and mix until the butter has melted.
- Continue mixing until well-combined and the butter has cooled slightly.
- Mix in the eggs until well-combined.
- Add the flour and baking soda, and stir in just until incorporated.
- Transfer the dough to a well-floured surface.
- Roll to 1/4-inch thick.
- Cut dough into desired shapes, re-rolling the scraps as needed.
- Bake until the cookies are puffed and soft in the center, about 10 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes and then transfer to a baking sheet to finish cooling.
- Let the cookies cool to room temperature before decorating.
Notes
- Molasses: I don’t recommend using blackstrap molasses.
- Brown sugar: Using dark brown sugar will give you richer flavor. You can light brown sugar if you prefer.
- Butter: I use salted butter in this recipe. If you’re using unsalted butter, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Flour: Be sure to properly measure the flour. Stir or sift the flour. Lightly spoon into a measuring cup and then level.
- Spices: The cookies are lightly spiced. If you like stronger spices, feel free to increase the spices.
