Scale

1 cup butter

softened

½ cup brown sugar

¾ cup molasses

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground ginger

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until smooth.
Beat in the egg and molasses until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and ginger.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set but centers are soft.
Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week. For extra flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
