Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 4½ cups all purpose flour
- 1½ tbsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- 1 tsp sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1½ cups unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup white sugar plus extra for coating
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup blackstrap molasses
- 2 eggs large
Instructions
Dry Ingredients
- Combine the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and sea salt. Set aside.
Wet Ingredients
- Either in a counter top mixer bowl, or a large mixing bowl with hand mixer, cream the butter for a minute then slowly add both sugars and mix until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Mix in the molasses and then eggs, one at a time.
Combine & Chill
- Slowly add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until combined completely.
- It is recommended to cover with plastic wrap and chill for 1-2 hours (up to 24) to produce the best chewy, soft texture, and well rounded flavour. WIthout the refrigeration, they will still be good, but be a bit harder with a bit harsher flavour.
Bake
- Preheat oven to 350°f. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a separate small bowl, add about ½ cup sugar.
- Roll dough into approximately 1" balls, then coat each ball in sugar and place on parchment lined baking sheet, about 2-3" from one another and the edges.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until cracks appear on top. Remove from oven, let cook sit on sheets for about 2 minutes, then transfer to wire cooling racks to cool completely. Allow baking sheet(s) to cool a bit before starting the next batch.
- Consume within 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month, if they last that long.
