Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Dairy Free Butter, Softened
  • 1/2 cup Dark Brown Sugar, Packed
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1/3 cup Unsulphured Molasses
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 1/4 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tbsp Ground Ginger
  • 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Cloves
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/3 cup Coarse Sugar, For Rolling

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the dairy free butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar for 2 minutes until fluffy. Beat in the egg, molasses and vanilla until fully combined.
  3. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until a soft, sticky dough forms. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours, as this step is key for thick, soft cookies with crackly tops.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll the dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon balls, roll each one in the coarse sugar and place them 3 inches apart.
  5. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are set and the tops are crackled but the centers still look soft. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
