Jenny’s Delicious Ginger Cookies
Ingredients:
– 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon ground ginger
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon cloves
– 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 egg
– 1/4 cup molasses
– 1/4 cup brown sugar, for coating
Instructions:
1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Set aside.
2. In a separate larger mixing bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and molasses to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading while baking.
6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Place the brown sugar in a small bowl. Using your hands, shape the cookie dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll each ball in the brown sugar to coat.
8. Arrange the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for spreading.
9. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
10. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
