Ingredients

Scale

2 tablespoons white sugar

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons ground ginger

1 teaspoon baking soda

¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground cloves

¼ teaspoon salt

¾ cup butter softened

1 cup white sugar

1 large egg

¼ cup molasses

1 tablespoon water

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of white sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, molasses, and water to the mixture and beat until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, ground ginger, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just blended.
Shape the dough into big balls and roll them in the remaining 2 tablespoons of white sugar.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an added touch, sprinkle extra sugar on top of the cookies before baking for a sparkling finish.
