Ingredients
- ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) butter, room temperature
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup molasses
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons ginger
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the butter and brown sugar. Add eggs and continue mixing until combined. Stir in the molasses.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, baking soda and salt until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients about ½ cup at a time, mixing between each addition until just combined.
- Place powdered sugar in a small bowl. Roll cookie dough into about 32 1-inch balls, then roll each ball through the powdered sugar. Coat each ball thickly with powdered sugar to achieve the best crinkled look.
- Place dough balls on the prepared baking sheets. Bake each batch for 9 to 10 minutes, then set aside to cool. Cookies will be soft and chewy, and the tops should crack a bit during baking to create a crinkled effect on top. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
