Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons molasses

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2 cups flour, 1.5 tsp ginger, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 0.5 tsp baking soda.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, beat the 0.5 cup softened butter and 0.75 cup brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Beat in the 1 egg and 2 tbsp molasses until well combined.

  5. 5

    Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

  6. 6

    Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on the prepared sheet. Flatten slightly.

  7. 7

    Bake until edges are set and lightly golden, about 10-12 minutes. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
