Description

Ingredients

• 2¼ cups flour
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground cloves
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup butter, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon orange juice
• ¼ cup molasses
• ¼ cup sugar

Directions

• Sift together the dry ingredients (flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt)
• Cream the butter and 1 cup sugar.
• Add the egg and beat until fully incorporated.
• Add the orange juice and molasses (I use light molasses) until combined.
• Add in the dry ingredients in small batches until just combined.
• Refrigerate for 2-3 hours, if you cant at least put it in the freezer for a half an hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In about 2 tablespoon balls, roll into the ¼ cup sugar and flatten so it looks like the thickness of a double stuff Oreo, really thick but clearly flattened.
• Bake for 9-11 minutes.
