- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt (sea salt)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2-1 tsp. ground cloves
- 1 tsp. powdered ginger
- 2 cups flour
- 1/3 cup extra sugar (for rolling- turbinado sugar)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375. In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, molasses, egg, baking soda, salt, spices and flour. Mix well. Form into 1 inch balls and roll in the extra sugar. Place widely apart on lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes. For a chewy cookie, bake the minimum time; for crispy, bake the maximum time.
