I've had a few requests for this recipe. One of the keys is that I line the cookie sheet with parchment paper and use an ice cream scoop to make the cookies. I can't lie, this is mostly from Better Homes and Gardens, but I use butter instead of shortening.
Preheat the oven to 350.
Ingredients:
4 1/2 cups all purpose flour
4 tsp ground ginger (if you really like ginger you can add candied ginger, but I felt it was too much)
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter (at room temperature)
2 cups sugar
2 eggs (at room temperature)
1/2 cup molasses
Extra sugar to roll dough in before baking
Stir together the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the butter on low for 30 seconds. Add 2 cups of sugar and mix until combined. Scrape sides of bowl. Beat in eggs and molasses until combined. Beat in the flour mixture.
Shape dough into balls using scoop. Roll balls in the extra sugar and place on cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Bake at 350 for 11 minutes. Do not overcook! Cool on wire wracks. Let loved ones enjoy!
