How to Make Delicious Ginger Molasses Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 cup molasses until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar.
  7. Place balls onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are set and centers are still slightly soft. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
