Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups (340g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) granulated white sugar
- 1 cup (213g) packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (170g) unsulphured molasses

- 4 1/2 cups (639g) all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in the eggs one at a time and then add the molasses, beating until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and beat until evenly incorporated.
- Transfer the dough to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until completely chilled.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter, and roll each in sugar until coated. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for about 8-10 minutes, until the cookies begin to crack on top. Remove from the oven and let cool for 4-5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Serve warm or store in a sealed container for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
