Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp instant espresso powder
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk or cream
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Cream the butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Add egg and molasses, mixing until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and espresso powder.
  3. Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients to form a soft dough. Chill dough for 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  5. Scoop dough into balls and place on baking sheets. Bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are set. Cool on pan briefly, then transfer to wire rack.
  6. While cookies cool, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and a pinch of espresso powder to make glaze.
  7. Drizzle glaze over cooled cookies and let it set before serving.

Notes

  • Chilling dough helps with handling and results in thicker cookies.
  • Increase espresso powder for a stronger coffee flavor.
  • Cookies can be frozen unglazed for up to 2 months.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.
  • Skip glaze for a less sweet version.
