Time 35m

Yield 26

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
½ cup molasses
¾ cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Whisk flour, ginger, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Beat butter in a large bowl until creamy. Gradually beat in 2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in molasses. Stir 1/2 of the flour mixture into butter mixture; add remaining flour mixture and stir until dough is just-combined.
  • Pour 3/4 sugar into a shallow bowl. Roll dough into 2 inch balls and roll each ball in sugar to coat. Place sugar-coated dough balls 2 1/2-inches apart on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are light brown and puffed, 12 to 14 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
