Ginger Speculoos Cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2 cups flour, 1.5 tsp ginger, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 0.5 tsp baking soda.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the 0.5 cup softened butter and 0.75 cup brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the 1 egg and 2 tbsp molasses until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on the prepared sheet. Flatten slightly.

Step 7

Bake until edges are set and lightly golden, about 10-12 minutes. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
