Course: Dessert Yield: 18 servings Prep Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 10 mins
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 Cup of sifted all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon of powdered ginger
- 2 Teaspoon of baking soda
- 1 Teaspoon of cinnamon
- 3/4 Cup of butter, room temperature
- 1 Cup of white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 Cup of molasses
- 1/3 Cup of brown sugar
- 1/2 Teaspoon of cloves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Sift the flour, ginger, baking soda, cloves and cinnamon into a mixing bowl. Stir the mixture to blend evenly, and sift a second time into another bowl.
- Place the butter into a mixing bowl and beat until creamy. Gradually beat in the white and the brown sugar. Beat in the egg, and dark molasses. Sift 1/3 of the flour mixture into the butter mixture; stir to thoroughly blend. Sift in the remaining flour mixture, and mix together until a soft dough forms. Pinch off small amounts of dough and roll into 1 inch diameter balls between your hands. Place 2 inches apart on an un-greased baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven until the tops are rounded and slightly cracked, about 10 minutes. Cool cookies on a wire rack. Store in an air tight container.
