How to Make Ginger And Poppy Seed Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cloves, ground cinnamon, poppy seeds, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. If using, stir in the molasses.
  6. Shape the dough into a large log (approximately 2 inches in diameter).
  7. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  8. Once chilled, unwrap the dough and slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  9. Place the cookie slices onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
