Ingredients
Cookie dough
- ¾ cup (170 g) Butter
- ¾ cup (65 g) White sugar
- 1 Egg
- ½ cup (120 ml) Molasses
- 2 ¼ cups (280 g) All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Ground ginger
- ¼ tsp Cinnamon
- ¼ tsp Nutmeg
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
For coating
- ½ cup (100 g) Granulated sugar for coating
Instructions
- Dry ingredients - In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, spices, and ground ginger - and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, on medium speed, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract. Followed by the flour mixture. Combine well over low speed but do not overmix. Pro tip - We do not want to activate the gluten in our dough. So do not overmix. Otherwise, the cookies will spread too much.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let chill in the fridge for 15 minutes. Pro tip - The cookie dough can be refrigerated for a week or frozen for up to a month.
- Preheat oven at 350°F / 177°C / Gas Mark 4 and line a sheet pan or two baking sheets with silicone or parchment paper.
- Using a cookie scoop, or two tablespoons amount of cookie dough, make golf size balls. Then, coat the cookie dough balls in the white granulated sugar. Pro tip - You can also make the cookie dough balls and freeze them for up to a month in a freezer bag.
- Place on the baking tray, making sure to leave space for them to spread. Bake in a preheated oven for 8 to 9 minutes until the top is cracked. Pro tip - Larger cookies will take about 10 minutes and vise versa.
- Cool on a cookie tray for 5 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before you transfer to a cookie jar.
