Servings: 48 Cookies
Calories: 101kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup Salted butter
- ½ cup Unsalted butter
- ½ cup Granulated sugar
- ½ cup Brown sugar
- 1 Egg Large
- 4 tablespoon Molasses
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon Baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
- 1 teaspoon Freshly grated ginger
- ½ teaspoon Nutmeg powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar For rolling cookie dough balls
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add salted butter, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and cream until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and molasses and mix until smooth.
- Now, add flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and mix until you end up with a thick dough. Note: I found it easier to just mix/knead with my hands rather than a mixer, at this point.
- Scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them into walnut –sized balls. Then, roll them in a bowl full of sugar.
- Place them on a cookie tray lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375 degrees for 5 minutes. Then, rotate the tray and bake for another 4-5 minutes or until the tops of cookies start to crack and the edges will become slightly brown.
- Let these cookies cool down on the cookie tray for about 3 minutes and then place them on a wire rack to cool down. You will end up with A LOT of cookies (about 5 to 6 dozen) but they will be gone in no time. Enjoy!

Notes
- Read all my tips above.
- Leftovers can be stored in a cookie jar at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Tip: If the cookies start to become a little hard after a day, add a slice of sandwich bread in the cookie jar and seal the lid. The next morning, remove and discard the slice of bread. All the moisture from the bread would have transferred to the cookies, making them soft again.
