Ingredients
- ¾ cup (190g) unsalted butter , softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar , or you can use caster sugar
- 4 tbsp molasses *see note 1
- 1 large egg , room temperature
- 1 tsp baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground cloves
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 ¼ cups (280g) flour , all-purpose / plain
- sanding sugar , for rolling * see note 2
Instructions
- Cream the butter and sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy. Make sure to use a spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of the mixing bowl halfway through.
- Add the molasses, egg, baking soda, salt and spices and beat them in.
- Gradually add the flour and mix it in until it is incorporated (avoid over beating though).
- Use a small cookie scoop to divide the cookie dough into small balls and then roll each in the sanding sugar.
- Place on a lined cookie sheet (I use a silicone mat), spaced well apart to allow them to spread.
- Bake, in batches, in a 350°F (180°C) preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Cool and store in an airtight container for up to five days or freeze them for up to two months.
