Servings: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Butter salted and softened
- 1 cup Brown Sugar packed
- 1 Large Egg
- 1/4 cup Molasses
- 2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Cream the softened butter and packed brown sugar together in a bowl until the mixture is fully blended and smooth.
- Incorporate the egg and molasses into the mixture, beating until the dough becomes light and fluffy.
- Stir in the baking soda, ground ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing it in thirds to avoid lumps, until a consistent dough forms.
- Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Form the dough into small balls and roll each one in powdered sugar until fully coated.
- Place the cookie dough balls on a baking sheet and bake for 9-10 minutes, or until the cookies have a crinkled appearance and are set on the edges.
Notes
Ensure the dough is well-chilled before baking to help achieve the distinctive crinkle effect.
For a slightly softer cookie, bake on the lower end of the time range.
