Total time:
- ½ cup butter at room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup molasses
- 2 cups all-purpose, unbleached flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup sugar for rolling
- In a medium bowl, mix butter and sugars until combined
- Add molasses and mix until incorporated
- In a small bowl, whisk eggs gently to break up the yolks
- Add eggs to the molasses mixture and mix until combined
- In a medium bowl, add dry ingredients - flour, baking soda, salt, ginger and cinnamon. Whisk to combine.
- Gradually add dry ingredients into molasses mixture and mix together with a spoon (or a mixer, if you like)
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about an hour
- When chilled, use a mini-scoop to grab small portions and then roll into smooth balls.
- Roll each ball in the granulated sugar and assemble onto a baking tray. Allow to chill for at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator
- Once chilled, place 6 balls onto a parchment lined cookie sheet (I used a 15.5inch X 10.5inch rimmed sheet) leaving about 2-3 inches between each ball
- The balls waiting to be baked should remain in the refrigerator until ready to go in the oven
- Bake for 12 minutes in a 350 degree oven
- Bake in batches until the balls are finished. This recipe yields 54-56 cookies
