CRISPY GINGER MOLASSES COOKIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Set a rack in the upper third of your oven and preheat to 350°F.
• Place 1.5 sticks softened unsalted butter and 1 cup white granulated sugar in a mixing bowl and beat on medium speed for 5 minutes.
• If using a stand mixer, in the meantime whisk 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and 1 pinch ground black pepper together in a separate bowl.
• Once the butter and sugar has been mixing for 5 minutes, add the egg and mix until smooth. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides. Add half of the flour mixture and mix on low until combined. Add 1/3 cup molasses and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and mix until combined. Stop the mixer again and scrape down the sides. Then add the remaining flour and mix on low to combine. Use a spatula to make sure there isn't any unmixed flour on the bottom of the bowl.
• If the mixture is too soft to roll into balls, cover it and place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Otherwise, set aside while you whisk together ¼ cup white granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon together in a small bowl.
• Using a medium cookie scoop (or about 1.5 Tablespoons), scoop out dough and roll into balls between the palms of your hand. Roll each ball into the cinnamon sugar mixture and then place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat. Leave 3 inches between the cookies. I bake 6 to 8 cookies at a time on a half sheet.
• Bake for 11 - 13 minutes to achieve a cookie that is crisp on the edges and softer and chewy in the center. Mine were perfect at 12 minutes but all ovens differ. Bake 1 to 2 minutes longer for a crispier cookie.
• Cool cookies on the baking sheet on a cooling rack. Store in an airtight container or bag.
