Preparation

Step 1

Method:

In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking Soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Whisk together and set aside.

In a larger bowl, beat the sugar until creamy. Add the sugar and beat for about 2-3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg. Add the cream, molasses, and maple syrup and beat on low until incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredients and stir until all the white streaks have disappeared. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Place the 3 tbsp. of sugar into a bowl. Measure out about 1 level tablespoonful of dough for each cookie. Roll the dough into balls and roll the balls into the sugar. Place the balls on the cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each one.

Bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack. Allow the cookies to sit for 5 minutes taking them off the sheets.

Yields about 26 cookies.
