Ingredients
- ¾ cup butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup unsulphured molasses
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Make the cookie dough:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or large bowl with a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and molasses and mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour with the baking soda, spices, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir to combine into a soft dough.
Refrigerate:
- Refrigerate for half an hour.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Form the cookies:
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop the dough and roll it into a ball. Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon.
Bake:
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cookies are just set. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to rest for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
