My Dad and I have always been close and until this year, I’ve always been around to celebrate with him. It’s a little weird to have to ship him cookies, but he’s never been a birthday cake kind of guy (ok he likes cake, but he prefers a birthday pie or a birthday tower of brownies). So this year, I’m sending him a batch of his favorite cookies! I have made a lot of ginger cookies over the years, more than ever before last year since Wee One #3 loves them so much and this recipe is absolutely the best. This is my new go to for ginger cookies!

|
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon allspice 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves |
3/4 cups unsalted butter, room temperature 3/4 cups packed dark brown sugar 1 large egg 1/2 cup unsulfured molasses granulated sugar for rolling |
| Pretty standard recipe, it’s all about the quality of your ingredients! Whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice, salt and cloves together. Make sure the spices are well combined in the flour. In the bowl of your mixer, cream the butter and sugar together for about 3 minutes – then add the egg and molasses. Stir in the dry ingredients and chill for an hour.
Preheat to 375, line your cookie sheet with parchment paper and roll the dough into tablespoon-size balls. Use the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar to flatten them. Bake for about 10-14 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE. They are crispy on the outside and just a little bit chewy on the inside. Perfect ginger cookies! I hope my dad loves them! |
