Calories: 253kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon cloves
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup molasses
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, or spray with nonstick spray; set aside.
- Stir flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves together in a medium bowl; set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar together for 1-2 minutes; then, add egg, molasses, vanilla and stir to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and stir until combined, then stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
- Spray an ice cream scooper with nonstick spray (the dough will be a bit sticky!), then use it to scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake cookies for 11-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but middle is still slightly soft.
- Leave the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
