Cuisine: Canadian
Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened; 1 cup granulated sugar; 1 cup molasses; 2 large eggs; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 4 cups all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1 teaspoon ground cloves; 1 teaspoon ground ginger; 1/2 teaspoon salt; Additional granulated sugar for rolling

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the molasses, eggs, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix well until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth cookie dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight) to chill.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Shape the chilled cookie dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat evenly.
Place the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still soft in the center. Be careful not to overbake to keep the cookies chewy.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, store the Classic Newfoundland Christmas Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. These cookies also freeze well for longer storage.
