Ingredients

The following ingredients have 40 Servings
  • 2 1/4 cups plus 2 tbsp (309g) all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (224g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsulphured molasses
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and salt in a medium-sized bowl and set aside.
  • Cream the butter and brown sugar together in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until light in color and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. You should be able to see the change in color happen and know it’s ready.
  • Add the molasses and mix until well combined.
  • Add the egg and egg yolks one at a time, mixing until combined after each addition.
  • Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
  • Add in the dry ingredients and mix until the dough is well combined. The dough will be sticky. Do not over mix.
  • Cover and refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 2-3 hours.
  • Let the cookie dough come closer to room temperature so that it’s still chilled, but not hard and cold.
  • Create tablespoon-sized balls of cookie dough. Gently roll into a ball, then roll each ball in the additional sugar to coat. Set the balls on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling. They will fall a bit as they cool. Do not overbake them, or they will end up more cakey.
