To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and molasses and beat until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form the dough into balls and roll them in the coarse sugar. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Ginger Molasses Cookies are the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. They have a soft and chewy texture with a slightly crispy exterior from the coarse sugar. The warm flavors of ginger and molasses make them a comforting and cozy treat that's perfect for the holiday season.
