Soft and chewy cookies infused with warm ginger and cinnamon flavors, perfect for the holiday season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 cups rolled oats
Instructions
- Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg, molasses, and vanilla until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, then stir in the rolled oats.
- Scoop the dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers are soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chilling the dough for 30 minutes reduces spread and helps maintain a soft center. Use rolled oats for better texture.
