Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies
These soft and chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies are the best treat! So easy to make and so incredibly delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup butter room temperature
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 large egg
- 2 1/4 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground clove
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- sugar for rolling
Instructions
- In the bowl of your stand mixer (or in a large bowl using a hand mixer), add the sugar and butter and beat until light and fluffy. Add the molasses and egg and beat to incorporate.
- Stir the flour, baking soda and spices in a bowl. Slowly add to the wet ingredients and mix until incorporated (be careful not to over-mix).
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Pour some sugar (1/2 a cup or so) in a bowl.
- Using a cookie scoop (about 1 1/2 tablespoons), scoop out a portion of dough and roll into a ball. Dip the dough in a sugar bowl and roll it to cover with sugar.
- Place onto the parchment paper leaving about a 2 inch space between cookies. Bake for 7-10 minutes or until they begin to turn a nice golden brown around the edges and the tops begin to crack. [Note: the cookies will look puffy at first but will begin to flatten and get more crinkly as they cool.]
