Calories: 131kcal
Ingredients
For the dough:
- 3/4 c. 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 c. dark brown sugar packed
- 1/2 c. granulated sugar
- 1/4 c. molasses
- 1 large egg
- 2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. coarse kosher sea salt
- 2 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/3 c. raw turbinado sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats, set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, beat cream the butter on medium speed for 1 minute. Add the sugars and molasses, beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Add egg and mix on low until combined.
- In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, and cinnamon. With mixing speed on low, gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until no streaks remain.
- Using a standard size cookie scoop, form into balls. Roll each ball in sugar, then place onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until crisp. Cookies will look cracked, this is normal. Remove from oven and allow to cool on the sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
