Chewy Ginger Molasses Crinkle Cookies

Steps

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg, then the molasses, until evenly brown.
  4. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until no dry flour remains.
  5. Cover and refrigerate the dough until firm enough to roll without sticking.
  6. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two sheet pans with parchment.
  7. Roll the dough into 1 1/2-tablespoon balls and roll each one in the sugar.
  8. Set the balls on the pans 2 1/2 inches apart. They spread.
  9. Bake until the tops crackle and the edges are set while the centers still look soft.
  10. Let the cookies firm up on the pan, then move them to a rack. Bake the second pan.
