Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

First, mix together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.

Step 3

Next, add egg and molasses and mix well.

Step 4

In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and ginger, stirring to combine.

Step 5

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until well combined.

Step 6

Form or scoop balls of dough that are slightly smaller than a golf ball. Place them on a baking sheet approximately 2” to 3” apart to allow room for cookies to spread.

Step 7

Finally, bake for 10-12 minutes, remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on baking for approximately ten minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
