Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup unsulphured molasses
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup powdered sugar

Method
 

  1. Whisk flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  2. Beat butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Mix in molasses, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Stir dry ingredients into wet by hand. Scoop dough, roll in granulated sugar then powdered sugar, and place 2 inches apart on a lined baking sheet.
  4. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes until crackled and edges are set. Cool on sheet 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

If your kitchen is warm, chill the shaped cookie balls for 15 minutes before baking to help the crinkles stand out. The cookies will seem soft when you take them out of the oven but firm up as they cool.
