Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 3/4 cup butter room temperature
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar plus 1/3 cup for coating
- 6 tablespoon Fancy Molasses I like Crosby's brand
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven o 350º F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, add the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger and allspice. Use a whisk to combine all ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the molasses and egg.
- Gradually blend in the flour mixture, until just combined. (don't over-mix)
- Flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and freeze for 20 minutes.
- Remove from freezer, then divide the dough to form 24 balls. I find gently rolling the cookie dough in your palms makes perfectly round balls.
- Place 1/3 cup of granulated sugar in a bowl. Roll each ball in the sugar to coat completely.
- Place the balls on a cookie sheet at least 3 inches apart. Using the bottom of a glass, flatten down slightly.
- Bake 350º F for 10-12 minutes until the edges are slightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
