Servings: 32 cookies
Calories: 69kcal
Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Rubber spatula
- Teaspoon measure
- Baking pans
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour 120g
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature (113g), cut into tablespoon pieces
- ¾ cup dark brown sugar 150g
- ¼ cup molasses 60ml
- 1 large egg room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375℉/190℃ and gather 2-4 cookie sheets.
- In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt to combine.
- In a larger bowl, whisk together the butter, brown sugar, molasses, and egg. Use a little elbow grease here - tiny bits of butter may remain, which is ok.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix together with a rubber spatula until the flour is completely incorporated.
- Add 1 teaspoon sized dollops to an ungreased cookie sheet, at least 2 inches apart. I typically add 6 to a pan.
- Bake for 5 minutes. The very center may still be slightly underdone, but it will finish cooking on the hot pan when removed from the oven.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for about 5 minutes, then use an offset spatula to swipe the whole way under the cookie and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Repeat for the remaining dough.
Notes
If baking two pans at a time, switch racks at half.
Store the cookies in Tupperware (uncovered) or in a ziptop bag (unzipped) with pieces of parchment paper in between so they don't stick together. These last for 3 days.
