These little cookies are my grandmother’s specialty. Perfect to keep in the freezer for later as well! I used to make these all the time with my grandmother, now I get a huge basket of them for every holiday and birthday!
In my grandmother’s instructions, it tells you to sift some of the ingredients. It makes for a nicer batter, but I don’t own a sifter and it’s not particularly necessary, I used a whisk or a fork to turn and fluff the dry ingredients before adding.
Ingredients
- 1 1/8 cups white sugar, divided, or as needed
- ¾ cup butter
- 4 tablespoons molasses
- 1 egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided, or as needed
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 cookie sheets.
Step 2
Beat 1 cup sugar, butter, molasses, and egg together in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer.
Step 3
Sift flour, baking soda, ginger, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, cloves, salt, and nutmeg together in a bowl. Beat into butter mixture until combined.
Step 4
Combine 1/8 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Roll cookie dough into 1-inch balls. Roll cookies in the sugar-cinnamon mixture to coat. Place on the prepared cookie sheet.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until golden and edges are set, about 11 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool at least 5 minutes before serving or storing.
Cook’s Notes:
No need to press the dough once you place them on the cookie sheet, as they spread perfectly while baking.
