Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted before measuring
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Have ungreased baking sheet(s) ready.
  • Sift together the flour, baking soda, spices and salt; set aside.
  • Beat the butter and 1 cup of the granulated sugar in large bowl of an electric mixer on high speed until light, 1 minute.
  • Add the egg and molasses; mix well.
  • Stop the mixer and add the flour mixture.
  • Mix just until combined.
  • Using about 1 1/2 teaspoons dough for each, roll dough into balls.
  • Roll in the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar so they are fully coated.
  • Arrange on baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  • If you prefer a thin, crisp cookie, they may be flattened with a glass that has been dipped in sugar.
  • Bake until set, 9 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
