Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, soften (50 g)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (+2 tablespoon to roll the dough balls in)
- 1 cup plain flour (125 g)
- 2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoon molasses (it can be replaced with golden syrup)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat together the soften butter with the sugar until you get a smooth paste.
- Add the egg and beat again well so that the egg can be fully incorporated.
- Add the spices, molasses, mix again, then add the flour and bicarbonate of soda and mix to get a soft sticky dough.
- Take about one tablespoon of dough, roll it into a ball, then dip it into the sugar to coat.
- Arrange on a baking tray lined with non-stick paper, leaving at least one inch between each dough ball; depending on the size of your baking tray, you should not have more than 6 balls baking at a time.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (360 Fahreneheit) for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are spread nicely and the edges are slightly crispy.
- At this stage, the cookies are still soft, but leave them to cool down on the baking paper for at least 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. If the cookies are too soft, they will take the shape of the cooling rack.
- Repeat with the remaining dough.
