Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (dark)
  • 1/4 cup molasses (light flavored)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 3/4 cup softened unsalted butter and 1 cup dark brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually mix in 1/4 cup light molasses, followed by 1 large egg until well combined.
  4. Sift together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg; combine this mixture with the wet ingredients until a thick dough forms.
  5. Scoop about ¼ cup of dough, roll into balls, then coat each ball in granulated sugar before placing them on the prepared baking sheets. Slightly flatten each ball with damp fingers.
  6. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until edges are set but centers remain soft. Let cool on the baking sheet before transferring to wire racks.
