Baking temp: 350F
Baking time: 8-10 min
Resting time of 2+ hours required prior to baking
Add flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and clove to a bowl and whisk until combined.
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour, 2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground clove
Whip together (in a stand mixer if you have one) butter, 1/2 cup granulated white sugar, and 1/2 cup brown sugar until light brown.
3/4 cup butter (softened to room temp), 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup sugar
Add molasses and ginger to butter/sugar mixture.
1/2 cup molasses, 1 1/2 tbsp fresh grated ginger
Slowly add in the dry ingredient mixture (from step 1)
Cover or transfer dough to airtight container and place in fridge for 2+ hours to chill completely (I have kept mine in the fridge for several days and then baked without issue)
(Pre heat oven to 350F) Once dough is completely chilled, roll into 1tbsp balls, roll in granulated sugar, and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
2-3 tbsp sugar
Bake for 8-10 minutes. The tops of the cookies should begin to “crack” (see photo). Add more granulated sugar to tops at this time if desired.
Allow cookies to cool and then enjoy!
