Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup molasses
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • White icing for decoration optional

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 350°F; line sheets with parchment.
  2. Whisk flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl; set aside.
  3. Beat butter and brown sugar in large bowl 2-3 minutes until fluffy. Beat in molasses, egg, and vanilla thoroughly.
  4. Gradually mix in dry ingredients to form dough; do not overmix.
  5. Roll into ¾-inch balls; place 1 inch apart on sheets.
  6. Bake 8-10 minutes until edges just set; centers will look slightly underdone.
  7. Cool on sheet 5 minutes; transfer to racks to cool completely. Optionally decorate with white icing.
