Calories: 170kcal
Ingredients
- 4½ cups Flour
- 4 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1 tablespoons Ground Ginger
- 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1½ cups Unsalted Butter softened
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Brown Sugar packed
- 1/2 cup Molasses
- 2 large Eggs
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl whisk the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
- Using a stand mixer or a handheld mixer cream the butter and both sugars on medium-high until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy, scraping down sides as needed. Turne the speed to low and mix in the eggs one at a time until combined. Add the molasses and beat until just mixed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until evenly incorporated.
- Place the dough in an air-tight container and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 2 hours before prepping for baking.
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place a 1/2 cup of brown sugar in a small bowl. Using a 1-inch sized cookie scoop or a spoon scoop out the dough and roll into a ball. Roll each ball in the sugar until fully coated and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the cookies begin to crackle on top (they will crack more in the cooling process). Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
