Ingredients

Scale

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup dark brown sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/4 cup light molasses
1 large egg
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the brown sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. Mix in the molasses, then add the egg until fully incorporated.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually combine the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until you form a thick dough.
Roll about ¼ cup of dough into balls, coat them in granulated sugar, and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
Flatten each ball slightly with damp fingers and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until edges are set but centers remain soft.
Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes before transferring them off the sheet.
