Description

A rich and chewy gingerbread cookie that doesn’t go overboard with the spices.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Plus 2 Tablespoons Of Flour
  • 1-¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Cloves
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Ginger
  • ½ cups Unsalted Butter
  • ½ cups Brown Sugar
  • ⅓ cups Molasses
  • 1 Tablespoon Canola Oil
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1  Large Egg
  • Granulated Sugar, For Rolling Cookie Dough Balls

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with either parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside

In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and the sugar. Beat in the molasses, oil, vanilla extract and egg until completely combined. Add in the dry mixture about 1 cup at a time and combine completely after each addition.

Scoop dough into balls and roll in some granulated sugar. Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Remove baking sheets from oven and allow cookies to cool on sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

These cookies were fantastic! I made them as part of my Christmas baking this holiday season, and my family raved about them. Everyone loved the soft and chewy texture, and the flavour was delightful. I must admit I used a pinch more of each of the spices, but the results were amazing. Thank you Ali B for this recipe! :)

Soft and chewy. Just beautiful. They made about 3-1/2 dozen cookies. :) The only thing was that my dough was SO sticky that I really couldn’t “roll” them into balls, but they still looked really pretty. Thx for sharing!
