Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup molasses
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for rolling

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the molasses and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Cover the dough and chill for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to roll.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Place the powdered sugar in a shallow dish.
  8. Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls.
  9. Roll each dough ball generously in the powdered sugar, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  10. Place the coated dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  11. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra crinkles, you can roll the dough balls in powdered sugar a second time after they’ve baked for a few minutes and are slightly set.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
