Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup molasses
  • 2 cups unsifted flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp clove
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 cup sugar , for uncooked rolling dough balls in before baking

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°.
  2. Combine butter, sugar and egg; mix until creamy. Stir in molasses until well incorporated. This can all be done in a stand mixer.
  3. Combine & whisk together dry ingredients EXCEPT sugar for rolling. Mix remaining dry ingredients. Mix into molasses & butter mixture until well combined.
  4. Scoop & roll dough into balls, 3/4 to 1 thick. Depending on the size ball you roll, the baking time will vary. I use a cookie scoop, roll in the palms of my hand then roll again in sugar.
  5. Place about 2 apart on greased or parchment paper lined baking sheets.
  6. Bake 12 minutes: for a softer center & crisp edges.
  7. Bake 14-15 minutes for a crunchy & snappier cookie.
  8. I like them both ways!
