Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup packed dark-brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsulphured molasses
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  • Whisk together the flour, spices, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Now, use an electric mixer to beat the butter and brown sugar together until smooth.
  • Add in the molasses and egg. Now, with the mixer on low, add the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix until the dough forms.
