Molasses Cookies

Ingredients:

• 2.5 cups of flour
• 2 teaspoons of baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 tsp ground cloves
• A pinch of salt
• 165 g butter, room temperature
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup molasses
• Turbinado sugar for sprinkling

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 175°C. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then the molasses. Gently fold in the flour mixture in three additions.
3. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the dough into 2.5 cm (1-inch) balls and place them on a baking sheet sprinkled with turbinado sugar. Gently roll the cookies in the sugar, coating them completely. Transfer the sugar-coated balls to another baking sheet and press them lightly.
4. Bake for 9-10 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
