Time 40m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled
1 cup sugar, plus more for rolling
1 large egg
1/4 cup molasses
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cardamom

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and cloves in a medium bowl. Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until the dough comes together. It will be a stiff dough.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, whole ginger for the best flavor. Peel and grate it yourself, or use pre-grated ginger from the grocery store.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the flavors to develop and will make the cookies easier to handle.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before storing them. This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.
