Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Pinch salt
1 1/2 sticks butter, at room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup molasses
Turbinado sugar, for coating

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt and set aside.
In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and then the molasses. In thirds, gently mix in the flour mixture until just combined.
Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out the cookie dough into 1-inch balls onto a sheet tray covered with turbinado sugar. Gently toss the cookies in the sugar, covering them completely. Place the sugar-coated dough balls on another sheet tray and gently squish a little.
Bake for 9 to 10 minutes. Remove the cookies to a rack to cool. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't spread out in the oven. I'm not sure why.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

I'm not usually a fan of molasses cookies, but these were surprisingly delicious. The molasses flavor is subtle and not overpowering, and the cookies are nice and chewy.
