📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a stainless steel pan, cook the butter over medium heat. The butter will foam, crackle, and pop- which is normal! Stand by and stir it occasionally. When there are brown bits of butter at the bottom of the pan, and it smells nutty, scrape all of the butter into a large bowl and set it aside to cool to room temperature. You should have about 3/4 cup or 160 grams of browned butter!
2
Once at room temperature, whisk in the sugar and dark brown sugar.
3
Then, whisk in the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and molasses.

Fold in the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ground ginger until just combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for ⏱️ 15 minutes.

Scoop the dough with a large 3 tbsp cookie scoop. Roll each one in granulated sugar and place it on a parchment-lined baking tray. Cover the tray with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the fridge for a minimum of ⏱️ 3-4 hours, overnight for the best flavor!

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 F/180 C.
7
Roll the cookie dough balls in granulated sugar again, this time leaving a pile of sugar on the tops of the cookies. Bake the cookies spaced 2-3 inches apart until the tops are crackled, about ⏱️ 10-13 minutes. Let the tray cool on a wire cooling rack. Sprinkle the tops with more granulated sugar if desired.
