– unsalted butter – egg – brown sugar – all purpose flour – baking soda – ground ginger – cinnamon – cloves (or allspice) – molasses – salt – granulated sugar (for rolling)

Place softened butter and sugars into stand mixer or large bowl. Mix together on medium-high speed for about 2 minutes, until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides, as needed. Add egg and molasses and beat on medium-low until combined.

Pour in flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, cloves (or allspice), and ginger. Slowly combine into the mix. Beat until well combined and no dry flour.

In a small bowl, add in 1/4 cup of white sugar. Scoop your cookie dough into balls, about 1 tablespoon, then roll into the sugar.

Place the sugar coated cookie dough balls onto the prepared sheet pan/cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack and enjoy!
