The best ginger biscuits

Here’s a recipe for delicious ginger biscuits. These cookies are perfect for a sweet and spicy treat.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Additional granulated sugar for rolling (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, and ground cloves. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg, molasses, and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
6. Chill the Dough (Optional): For a chewier cookie, you can chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This step is optional but can help prevent spreading.
7. Shape into Balls: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. If desired, roll each ball in additional granulated sugar to coat.
8. Place on Baking Sheets: Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set. The cookies may appear slightly undercooked in the center but will firm up as they cool.
10. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These ginger biscuits should have a lovely blend of spices and a chewy texture. Enjoy your homemade ginger biscuits!
