Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter (softened)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (plus 1 tablespoon, for rolling)
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Instruction

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, using a hand mixer, cream together the softened butter and 1/4 cup of the sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
  • Mix in the egg yolk and molasses, and beat on medium-low speed until combined.
  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well.
  • Roll the dough into 1 1/2-inch round balls, then roll in the remaining tablespoon of sugar. Place 2-inches apart on baking sheet.
  • Bake until lightly browned, about 10-12 minutes. Remove baking sheet from the oven and transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.
