Method
 

How to Make Ginger Molasses Cookies Treat
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is essential for the perfect bake, ensuring that your cookies achieve that delightful chewy texture that everyone loves!
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt in a medium bowl. This ensures every bite is packed with warm, spicy goodness; set aside while you prepare the wet ingredients.
  3. Combine the unsulfured molasses, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and egg in a large mixing bowl. Beat until it's smooth and well blended, about 2-3 minutes—this will give you a lovely base for your cookies!
  4. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Scoop the dough using a tablespoon, and roll them into balls. If desired, roll each ball in granulated sugar for an added sparkle and sweetness before placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are crackled.
  8. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
