Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamon
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup molasses
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, cardamon, white pepper, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and molasses until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 days.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to about 1/8-inch thickness.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes. Carefully transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the centers are just set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat with the remaining dough.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, bake the cookies a minute or two longer.
- If you don’t have all the individual spices, you can use 2 teaspoons of speculoos spice blend.
- Dough can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before rolling and baking.
- These cookies are delicious dipped in melted white or dark chocolate.
