Jumbo Molasses Cookies 🍪

Ingredients:

• 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• ½ tsp ground cloves
• ½ tsp salt
• ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• ⅓ cup molasses
• ½ cup granulated sugar, for rolling

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar until light and creamy. Add the egg and molasses, then mix until well combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. Roll the dough into large balls, about 2–3 tablespoons each, then coat generously in granulated sugar.
5. Place the dough balls several inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 11–13 minutes, until the cookies are puffed and crackled around the edges.
6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container.
