Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed dark molasses
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • Granulated sugar, for rolling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, molasses, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated.
  6. Stir in the lime zest and lime juice until evenly distributed.
  7. Place a small amount of granulated sugar in a shallow dish.
  8. Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball thoroughly in the sugar.
  9. Place dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. The edges should be set, but the centers will look slightly soft.
  11. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra intense lime flavor, you can add 1/4 teaspoon of lime extract with the juice.
  • These cookies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • If you prefer a flatter cookie, gently press down on the dough balls with the bottom of a glass before baking.
