Ingredients:

Serving

2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar (have used light brown)
1 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup molasses ( i use grandma's)
1 large egg
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 * tbsp* ground ginger (yes, tablespoons )
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp salt
pinch ground cloves
1 tsp vanilla extract
note: have made these in a food processor

Directions:

In large mixing bowl, with mixer cream softened butter, brown and white sugars, molasses, vanilla
When mixed well, add egg, beat until smooth
In medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, salt, cloves
Set mixer at lowest speed
Add whisked dry ingredients
Mix well
I use a level cookie scoop, or generous tablespoons and scoop dough onto a cookie sheet (I use cookie sheet with air for these)
I mound 3 rows of 3, without crowding
You can use parchment paper (I have, but don't always use it) It is just quicker if you are in a big hurry
Bake at 375 for about 10 minutes
Cookies will first plump up as they spread, but then will deflate and become flat, and once this happens, they are done
NOTE: I sometimes open the oven door, once they plump up, and gently tap them with the bottom of a fork. Then close oven door, and continue cooking. These cookies look crackled like a map when done. I gently remove them from cookie sheet with metal spatula and place them on wire rack to cool.
THEY ARE DELICIOUS!! ENJOY.
