  • Cooking Method: Baking
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 12 minutes
  • Cuisine Type: Dessert

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground cloves
  • Pinch of salt

Cooking Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Stir in the molasses and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Form the dough into a ball and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten slightly.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are firm and the center is set.
  8. Allow the cookie to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Or just devour it while it’s warm, no judgment here!

Suggestions

Feeling adventurous? Swap out the molasses for honey or maple syrup for a different twist. For a bit of extra flair, sprinkle some coarse sugar on top before baking, or drizzle with a simple icing made from powdered sugar and milk. No oven? No problem! Try cooking it in an air fryer at the same temperature; just keep an eye on the time. Enjoy your cookie with a nice cup of tea or a frosty glass of milk for the ultimate cozy experience.
