Pin Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cup flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp cloves
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 egg
- ½ cup butter melted (1 stick)
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup molasses
- raw sugar for rolling
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together egg, melted butter, sugar, molasses, and brown sugar
- Mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. If dough is too sticky to roll, refrigerate for a few minutes until easy to handle.
- Scoop out dough by the tablespoon and roll into balls.
- Press the top of each ball into raw or sanding sugar, and place, sugar side up onto a parchment-lined baking sheet roughly 2" from each other. (I like 10 to a baking sheet, staggered.)
- Bake 5 minutes, then turn the baking sheet around in the oven and bake for an additional 3 minutes (8-10 minutes total).
Notes
*Dough can be rolled into balls up to 2 weeks ahead, and frozen. Let balls sit at room temperature for 30 mins before rolling in sugar to bake.
