INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 🌾 3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
    • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
    • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 🧂 ¾ teaspoon salt
    • ¾ teaspoon baking soda

  • Wet Ingredients

    • ¾ cup molasses
    • 💧 ¼ cup water

  • Other Ingredients

    • 🧈 12 tablespoons softened butter
    • 1 cup light or dark brown sugar, firmly packed
    • ¼ cup granulated sugar

STEPS

1

Mix flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, salt, and baking soda in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix molasses and water.

2

In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in molasses mixture, then dry ingredients, to form stiff dough.

3

If dough is sticky, add up to 1/4 cup more flour. Quarter the dough, form each portion into a disc, wrap in plastic and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.

4

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

5

On a heavily floured work surface, roll 1 portion of dough into a 9-by-7-inch rectangle. Sprinkle dough with 1 tablespoon of sugar; use rolling pin to press sugar into dough.

6

Cut dough into 9-by-1/2-inch sticks with a pastry cutter. Place sticks about 1/2 inch apart on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

7

Bake on the middle rack for 18 to 22 minutes, rotating the sheet from back to front after 10 minutes.
