Instructions
1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and all spices until uniformly distributed.
💡
Tip:Sifting the spices ensures there are no bitter clumps of ginger in the finished cookie.
2
Cream the butter and brown sugar until the mixture is pale and airy, then incorporate the egg and molasses, beating until fully emulsified.
💡
Tip:Ensure your butter is at room temperature for maximum aeration.
3
Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stopping as soon as the dough forms a cohesive, uniform mass.
💡
Tip:Do not overwork the dough; handle it with a light touch to prevent gluten development.
4
Wrap the dough in wax paper and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the moisture to hydrate the flour proteins.
💡
Tip:Cold dough is significantly easier to roll and maintains sharper edges when cut.
5
Roll out to 1/8-inch thickness for crisp edges or 1/4-inch for a softer bite, then bake at 177 °C for 8–10 minutes.
💡
Tip:Watch the edges closely; they should be firm to the touch but still slightly matte.
