• portions: 44 servings
• temps actif: 15 minutes
• temps total: 1 hour 40 minutes

Ingrédients

1 cup (2 sticks , 8 ounces) unsalted butter

1 cup (7 ounces) sugar, plus more for coating the dough

1/2 cup (6 ounces) molasses

2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon

1 1/4 teaspoons ground cloves

3/4 teaspoons ground ginger

2 large eggs

3 1/2 cups (14 3/4 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add molasses while mixing at a slow speed, then baking soda, salt, and spices. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is incorporated. Stir in flour. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.

Shape or scoop the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls; a tablespoon cookie scoop works well here. Roll them in granulated sugar and put them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them.

Bake cookies for 10 minutes. After taking them out of the oven, allow cookies to cool on the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a rack to finish cooling.
