Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup unsulfured molasses
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Powdered sugar, for rolling
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, for glaze
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk or water, for glaze

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the molasses and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Cover the dough and chill for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to roll.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Place a generous amount of powdered sugar in a shallow dish.
  8. Scoop the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the powdered sugar to coat completely.
  9. Place the coated balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the glaze: Whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons of milk or water until smooth and pourable.
  13. Drizzle the maple glaze over the cooled cookies.
  14. Allow the glaze to set before serving.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough is essential for easy handling and to prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
  • You can add a pinch of black pepper to the spice mix for a subtle warmth.
  • For a stronger maple flavor, use maple syrup instead of milk or water in the glaze.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
