Ingredients
  

1 cup unsulfured molasses

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 large egg

4 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

2 teaspoons ground ginger

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling cookies)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the molasses and egg, then mix until well combined.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt until evenly mixed.

        Blend Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. You may need to use your hands to ensure everything is well incorporated.

          Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the extra granulated sugar to coat completely. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked. Be careful not to overbake; they will continue to firm up as they cool.

              Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your delicious, chewy molasses ginger cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
