How to Make New England Lumberjack Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in ½ cup molasses and 2 large eggs until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Place ¼ cup granulated sugar in a small bowl.
- Lightly wet your fingers with water. Pinch off about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a 1 ½-inch ball. Roll the dough ball in the granulated sugar to coat.
- Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 3 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
