Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • ¾ cup butter (softened)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Set your oven temperature to 350° in preparation for baking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, blend together 1 cup of sugar and butter until the mixture achieves a light and fluffy consistency. Afterward, incorporate molasses, egg, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger into the bowl, and thoroughly combine all the ingredients until they form a cohesive mixture.
  3. Form the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar. Arrange the sugared balls on greased baking sheets, making sure to place them approximately 2 inches apart. Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes or until they turn a light golden brown. Once done, take the cookies out of the oven and allow them to cool before serving.
