Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 unit Egg
• 0.25 cup Molasses
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, molasses, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
3. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and roll them in granulated sugar. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are slightly cracked on top. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
