These cookies are perfect for holiday gatherings or as a cozy evening snack, offering a burst of flavor that makes them a timeless favorite. Plus, they fill your kitchen with a wonderful aroma as they bake!

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
4. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg and molasses to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined and smooth.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing the dough to guarantee your cookies remain soft and chewy.
6. Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This step helps the flavors meld and keeps the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
7. Form the Cookies: After chilling, use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion out the dough. Roll each portion into a ball and then roll the balls in the granulated sugar to coat.
8. Place on Baking Sheets: Arrange the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
9. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
10. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Serve: Enjoy your classic deep and chewy molasses cookies fresh or store them in an airtight container for up to a week. These cookies are even better the next day, as the flavors continue to develop!

Enjoy your baking!

2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and salt. This guarantees an even distribution of the leavening agent and spices in the flour.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Molasses and Egg: Gradually add the molasses and the large egg to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture. Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing.
6. Fold in Pecans: Add the chopped pecans to the dough and gently fold them in using a spatula until evenly distributed.
7. Shape the Cookies: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie for spreading.
8. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. The cookies should remain soft and chewy in the center.
9. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious molasses pecan cookies!

8. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set, confirming they remain soft and chewy.
