Ingredients

2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature

1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar (have used light brown)

1 cup granulated white sugar

1/2 cup molasses (I use Grandma's)

1 large egg

3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

2 * tablespoons* ground ginger (yes, tablespoons :) )

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

1/2 teaspoon salt

Pinch ground cloves

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

NOTE: Have made these in a food processor

Directions

In large mixing bowl, with mixer cream softened butter, brown and white sugars, molasses, vanilla

When mixed well, add egg, beat until smooth

In medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, salt, cloves

Set mixer at lowest speed

Add whisked dry ingredients

Mix well

I use a level cookie scoop, or generous tablespoons and scoop dough onto a cookie sheet (I use cookie sheet with air for these)

I mound 3 rows of 3, without crowding

You can use parchment paper (I have, but don't always use it) It is just quicker if you are in a big hurry

Bake at 375 for about 10 minutes

Cookies will first plump up as they spread, but then will deflate and become flat, and once this happens, they are done

NOTE: I sometimes open the oven door, once they plump up, and gently tap them with the bottom of a fork. Then close oven door, and continue cooking. These cookies look crackled like a map when done. I gently remove them from cookie sheet with metal spatula and place them on wire rack to cool.

THEY ARE DELICIOUS!! ENJOY.
