Ginger molasses cookies

Step 1

Place the butter and sugars in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Step 2

Add molasses and mix until all combined.

Step 3

Add eggs and mix on low until smooth, about 30 seconds. Beat in vanilla.

Step 4

Slowly mix in dry ingredients, being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl.

Step 5

Scoop the dough into large balls, I like to use a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop for these. Place in the fridge to chill for at least 2-24 hours.

Step 6

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 7

Roll chilled cookie balls in sugar. Place 6-8 cookie dough balls on your lined baking sheet. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes. You're looking for a nice light golden brown around the edges, and some crackling along the top. Be careful not to over bake, or you will lose the chewy factor we are going for.
