How to Make Ginger Cookies Ginger Nuts

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in ½ cup molasses.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not 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 12-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
  9. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
