How to Make Heavenly Scented Soft Ginger Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the molasses.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the crystallized ginger.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
