Ingredients
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup molasses
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, and cloves until well combined.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and molasses until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Using a tablespoon, scoop dough and roll into balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your palm.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
