170g (¾ cup) unsalted butter, softened
200g (1 cup) sugar
1 large egg
113g (⅓ cup) molasses
300g (2¼ cup) all-purpose flour
8g (2 tsp) baking soda
4g (¾ tsp) salt
4g (1½ tsp) ground ginger
granulated sugar for rolling
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cream butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer until light and fluffy.
Add egg and molasses; mix until incorporated.
Add flour, baking soda, salt, and ginger. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Scoop into small balls (a little smaller than the size of a golf ball) and roll in sugar.
Bake for 12-16 minutes.
Place the cookies far apart as they spread a lot.
