Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup molasses (not blackstrap)
  • 1/3 cup turbinado or granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
  • 2–3 cups icing sugar (sifted)
  • 3–4 tablespoons eggnog
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (alcohol-free, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In another large bowl, beat together the softened butter and brown sugar until no lumps remain. Add in the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and molasses; continue beating until well combined. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Scoop dough onto lined sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes until just set. Allow cookies to cool on the tray before transferring them onto wire racks.
  4. For the frosting, beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually add icing sugar and eggnog until smooth.
  5. Assemble cookies by frosting one cookie and sandwiching it with another.
