Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter , cut into pieces
  • 1 cup light brown sugar , packed
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup egg white (about 2 eggs)
  • 4 tbsp sugar

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Mix flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, salt and cayenne together.
  3. Beat the butter in a mixing bowl until fluffy.
  4. Add brown sugar and 1/2 cup sugar and blend.
  5. Add the molasses and then the egg whites 1/2 at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition.
  6. Add the flour mixture 1/3 at a time and combine well after each addition.
  7. Spread 4 tablespoons of sugar on a small plate. Shape the dough into 3/4 inch balls and roll in the sugar until lightly coated. Arrange the balls 1 inch apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until nicely browned. Cool on the cookie sheet for two minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. *A helpful hint from the JL - use pretty crystal glasses, dampened with water to press into the dough for pretty, decorative designs on your cookies.
