By Tingrin3

Ingredients

• Ingredients
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 stick butter, softened
• 1/3 cup molasses
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup cake flour
• 1/2 cup bread flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Extra sugar, to coat cookies

Preparation

Step 1

Directions
Cream together the sugar and butter in a bowl. Add the molasses and egg and mix until thoroughly combined.

In a medium bowl, add the cake flour, bread flour, baking soda, salt and spices and whisk together. Pour into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

Scoop the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap and form a log. Refrigerate and chill the dough for at least 1 hour.

While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and form into golf ball-size balls. Roll in the sugar to coat and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 4 minutes, then rotate the cookie sheet and then bake for another 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the baked cookies from the oven and cool.
