These Chewy Gingerdoodle cookies aren't just delicious; they're a warm hug in cookie form

Transport yourself to a moment by the fireplace. You've got a cozy blanket and some tea, and the irresistible aroma of ginger, cinnamon, and sweetness fills the air. Baked to perfection, each cookie is a reminder to appreciate the small things... like a fresh baked cookie with a loved one.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Salted Butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup Dark Brown Sugar
  • 1 Large Rosemary Farm Egg, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 cup Unsulphured Molasses
  • 3 cups All Purpose Four
  • 2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Ginger
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cloves
  • Sugar for rolling

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of your stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and dark brown sugar until well combined, about 3 minutes. Be sure to scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl as needed.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla and mix an additional 2 minutes.
  3. With the mixer running on low, slowly drizzle in the molasses and then continue to mix until fully combined.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and ground cloves. Mix until the dough forms and starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl. About 2 minutes.
  5. Use a 1 TBSP cookie scoop to portion the cookies out onto a parchment lined sheet pan. Chill for about 30 minutes, or until firm enough to handle. (or up to overnight if you want to work ahead!)
  6. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Take each cookie into your hands and roll it into a ball. Roll it in sugar until it’s completely covered, then place 9 cookies on each cookie sheet.
  8. Bake one sheet at a time for 10 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and bang the pan on the counter 2-3 times to help the cookies flatten. Sprinkle them with extra sugar if desired. Let the cookies cool on the hot cookie sheet for 4-5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Tips

You can freeze the dough prior to baking for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
