Ginger Molasses Crinkle Cookies
These ginger molasses crinkle cookies are like the lazy girl version of classic gingerbread cookies! They're chewy on the edges, soft in the center, and taste of deep molasses and warm spices. But rather than spending hours rolling out the dough and carefully decorating each cookie, all you need to do is simply scoop the dough, roll it in powdered sugar, and bake! BONUS: they get even softer over time!
Ingredients
- 210 g (1 ¾ cup) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 100 g (½ cup) granulated sugar
- 84 g (⅓ cup + 1 tbsp) dark brown sugar
- 42 g (2 tablespoon) molasses
- 62 g (¼ cup + 1 tbsp) neutral oil
- 1 large egg, room temp
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 56 g (½ cup) powdered sugar, for rolling
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and spices. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, molasses, oil, egg, and vanilla.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until fully combined.
- Cover the bowl and chill in the fridge for at least one hour or overnight.
- When ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough and roll in the powdered sugar.
- Place cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
- Bake the cookies for about 10-12 minutes or until puffed up and cracked.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before removing.
Notes
- Chill the cookie dough. To ensure the cookie dough thickens up to the right consistency, don't skip the chill time!
- Use a cookie scoop. Use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the cookie dough into equally sized cookies!
