Ingredients:
4 1/2 cup of flour
4 teaspoon of ground ginger
2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 sticks of butter - room temperature
2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs - room temperature
1/2 cup molasses
White granulated sugar for rolling
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
In a large bowl, or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar until light a fluffy. About 5 minutes.
Next, add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in molasses. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the dry mixture until incorporated.
Make 2 inch rounds (I like to use an ice cream scoop to insure the cookies are the same size), roll in sugar and bake for 12-14 minutes.
The total time will depend on your particular oven.
