Ingredients

Scale

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup dark brown sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/4 cup light molasses
1 large egg
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup granulated sugar for coating

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and dark brown sugar until light and airy (about 3-4 minutes).
Gradually mix in the molasses, followed by the egg until fully combined.
Sift in the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt; mix on low speed until a thick dough forms.
Roll about ¼ cup of dough into balls, coat them in granulated sugar, then slightly flatten each ball on the baking sheet.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft.
Cool on baking sheets before transferring to wire racks.
