Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups flour, 2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp ginger, and 1 tsp cinnamon.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat 0.75 cup softened butter and 1 cup brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Beat in 1 large egg and 0.25 cup molasses until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough will be stiff.
Step 6
Roll dough into 1.5-inch balls, then roll each ball in 0.25 cup granulated sugar to coat.
Step 7
Place balls 2 inches apart on prepared sheets. Bake until cookies are puffed and cracked, about 10-12 minutes. Cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Step 8
Let cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
