Ingredients
  

3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup molasses

1 large egg

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons ground ginger

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until fluffy. Add in the molasses and egg, mixing until well combined.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.

        Blend Together: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. The dough will be sticky but manageable.

          Shape the Cookies: Scoop about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Roll the ball in granulated sugar until fully coated. Place the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly cracked. The centers might look a bit soft, but they will continue to firm up as they cool.

              Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

                Enjoy: Once cooled, indulge in your deliciously spicy and sweet Molasses Ginger Cookies!
