Ginger Molasses Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar, divided
  • 3/4 cup margarine, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
1
Collect the necessary components for preparation.
2
Combine sugar, butter, and egg in a medium-sized container until they form a uniform blend.
3
Integrate molasses into the mixture, ensuring a smooth consistency.
4
In a separate container, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, cloves, and ginger; then add this mixture to the molasses blend, stirring until everything is well incorporated.
5
Cover and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour to allow it to rest.
6
Preheat the oven to a temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius). During this time, shape the dough into 1-inch diameter balls; then coat each ball with the remaining 1/2 cup of white sugar before placing them 2 inches apart on ungreased baking surfaces.
7
Bake the cookies in batches within the preheated oven until their tops are cracked, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
8
Allow the cookies to cool on wire racks before indulging in them.
