Ingredients
  

  • 2 2/3 cup all-purpose flour (Specialty Baker's Flour at Sage and Plow)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt (Real Salt at Sage and Plow)
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp cloves
  • 1 cup softened butter (or coconut oil at Sage and Plow)
  • 1 1/2 cup sugar (Organic cane sugar at Sage and Plow)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup unsulphured molasses
  • 1 tsp vanilla (Mexican vanilla at Sage and Plow)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (Organic cane sugar at Sage and Plow)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • 2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
  • 3. In a large mixing bowl using a hand or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix together the butter and sugars on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes or until smooth, light and fluffy. 
  • 4. Scrape down the bowl and add the egg, molasses, and vanilla and mix again on the same speed for another 2-3 minutes. The mixture should be silky, light and creamy. 
  • 5. Pour in half of the dry ingredients and mix on medium-low speed until barely combined. Scrape down the bowl and then pour in the rest of the dry ingredients. Mix again on that same low speed until just combined.
  • 6. Use a rubber spatula to manually mix together the dough, working in any dry ingredients that may have settled to the bottom of the bowl. 
  • 7. Off to the side, add the sugar and cinnamon to a bowl and mix to combine. 
  • 8. Using a 2 oz ice cream scoop, or 1/4 measuring cup, scoop out the dough and toss in the cinnamon sugar mixture. 
  • 9. Place cookies on a large baking sheet, evenly and well spaced apart. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are a light golden brown and the center is pale and puffed. The cookies will darken, flatten, and settle as they cool.
