Ingredients
Scale
- 12 tablespoons cold butter (cut into cubes)
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or 1/4 teaspoon if using salted butter)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the cold butter cubes with dark brown sugar and regular sugar until light and fluffy (about 4 minutes).
- Add molasses and egg to the creamed mixture and mix well for an additional minute.
- Gently fold in flour, baking soda, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves (if using), and chocolate chips.
- Roll the dough into balls (about 4–6 ounces each) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes until slightly underdone; they will firm up as they cool.
- Allow cooling on the baking sheet for about 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
