Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated (for glaze)
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add molasses, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, grated ginger, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies.

Notes

  • For a spicier cookie, add more ground ginger or cinnamon.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain softness.
  • These cookies freeze well; just thaw before serving.
