Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp cloves
- 1/2 tsp cardamom
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup butter (1 1/2 sticks)
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/3 cup sorghum
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/3 cup bourbon smoked sugar or granulated sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease two sheet pans.
- Beat the butter and sugars together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy in a large bowl.
- Add the egg, sorghum, and vanilla and mix until it's well blended.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and spices, and mix on low until all the flour has been incorporated.
- Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop about 1 inch of cookie dough and roll into a ball.
- Pour about 1/3 cup bourbon smoked sugar (or regular sugar) in a bowl. Roll each cookie dough ball into the sugar and place it on a baking sheet. Keep each cookie two inches apart.
- Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes and the cookies are lightly browned.
Notes
- Don't chill the dough. Bake these cookies right away so that they spread while baking.
- If you freeze them, wait until they come to room temperature before baking.
- Grease your baking sheet so that the cookies do not stick to your baking tray.
