These Gingerbread Molasses Cookies are simple to make and perfect for any holiday baking you have planned.

They're slightly crunchy on the outside, soft & chewy on the inside, and filled with flavor thanks to lots of molasses and all the spices of the holidays - ginger, cloves, and cinnamon.

And then once you roll them in my PUMPKIN SPICE Infused Sugar, they're absolutely next level.

 

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour (all purpose or 1:1 gluten-free)
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup PUMPKIN SPICE Infused Sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment. 

In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and spices. 

In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat together: butter, brown sugar and molasses until combined, then add egg and continue to beat. Add dry mixture and mix until combined. 

Pour the PUMPKIN SPICE Infused Sugar into a small bowl. Scoop cookies into about 1” balls and roll each in PUMPKIN SPICE sugar. 

Place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets (do not flatten the dough) and bake until edges are just set, 8-12 minutes. 

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
