Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar divided
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 8 oz butter 2 sticks
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup molasses
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground white pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Mix together 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, the brown sugar, and the butter in a bowl with an electric mixer. Cream the butter and sugars for 2 minutes until the mixture is light and creamy.
  • Continuing to mix, add the egg and beat, then add the molasses.
  • On low speed, add the dry ingredients and mix until incorporated. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
  • Place the remaining 1/2 cup sugar into a small bowl. Roll the refrigerated cookie dough into 3/4 inch balls (using a small cookie scoop helps here) and roll into the sugar. Place on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the cookies 2 or 3 inches apart on the baking sheet. Flatten the rolled cookies slightly with 2 fingers when you place on the baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes until set around the edges but still soft inside. let them cool for 5 minutes then remove from the baking sheet.
