Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies
These Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies are all things fall. Pure comfort in a cookie. There is nothing like a chewy cookie with a sugary, crackly exterior.

- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup unsulfured molasses

- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon I used Saigon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- Extra sugar for rolling I used Trader Joe's Organic Brown Sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add egg, vanilla, and molasses. Mix until blended.
- Whisk flour, spices, and salt together in a small bowl and add to butter mixture.
- Beat just until blended.
- Scoop into balls and roll in sugar.
- Press each ball down with the bottom of a glass to flatten.
- Place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake at 350° for 9-12 minutes, depending on size of scoop used.
