Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1/4 cup molasses

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp ginger

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • First, mix together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
  • Next, add egg and molasses and mix well.
  • In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and ginger, stirring to combine.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
  • Form or scoop balls of dough that are slightly smaller than a golf ball. Place them on a baking sheet approximately 2” to 3” apart to allow room for cookies to spread.
  • Finally, bake for 10-12 minutes, remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on baking for approximately ten minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
