Ingredients

Instructions

  • Combine brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, salt, butter, molasses and egg in a mixing bowl. Mix on low speed until just moistened. Increase speed to medium, beat for 1–2 minutes then slowly add flour until well blended. Cover and chill in fridge 1 hour.
  • After dough has chilled an hour, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Roll dough into 2" balls then roll balls in granulated sugar. Place cookie balls on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and press down top slightly.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes and let cool before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

It's not Christmas if your kitchen isn't fragrant with ginger, nutmeg and molasses!
