Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Powdered sugar for rolling

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy. Add the egg, molasses, and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Shape the Cookies: Once chilled, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated, then place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are puffed and crinkled. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
