Ingredients
  

  • 2 ¼ cups (281 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks / 170 g) unsalted butter, (softened)
  • 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, (packed)
  • 1 large egg, (room temperature)
  • ¼ cup (84 g) molasses

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix butter and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg, followed by the molasses.

Notes

– For the perfect chewy texture, avoid overmixing the dough once the flour is added. Mix just until combined.
– Ensure your butter and egg are at room temperature for a smooth, cohesive dough that creams together beautifully.
– If your dough is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This makes it easier to roll and stuff the marshmallows.
