How to Make Gingerdoodle Cookies
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with a parchment paper.
In a separate bowl sift or whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt.
In a large bowl, using mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add egg and molasses and beat until smooth, making sure to get down sides of bowl to incorporate.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined, with care to not overmix.
Scoop with small, medium or large cookie scoop of choice or roll the cookie dough into balls and roll in the 1/4 cup granulated sugar or cinnamon sugar mixture of 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon.
Space the cookie dough at least 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes for small 1 tablespoon cookies, 10-12 for medium sized cookies. For large ¼ cup cookies, bake 12-14 minutes.
Let cool for 5 minutes on cookie sheet before removing to wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Add some melted white chocolate to drizzle on top of cookies with some sprinkles for some drama!
