Soft Ginger Molasses Cookies
Report
Ginger Molasses cookies, sometimes known as spice cookies, are one of my favorite Christmas cookies. Soft and spicy without being overly sweet.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Sift together the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl with electric hand mixer, cream the butter, 1 cup of the sugar, egg and molasses until fully combined and slightly fluffy, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Slowly stir in the flour mixture until it is crumbly. Dough will not fully stick together until you start to roll the dough.
- Place 3/4 cup sugar into a small bowl. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and then roll in the sugar to coat fully.
- Place 2 inches apart on parchment lined cookie sheet. I prefer to use insulated baking sheets because they cook evenly.
- Cook each batch for 7-8 minutes or until they look just under cooked. You will see uncooked dough through the cracks. Remove from the oven and let sit on cooking sheet for 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack.
