  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 4 1/2 cups flour
  • 4 tsp ground ginger

Instructions

  4. Add the eggs one at a time and mix until just incorporated.
  5. Add in the molasses and mix to combine.
  6. In another bowl combine the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, salt, and baking soda.
  7. Add the flour mixture to the mixer 1 cup at a time mixing just until combined.
  8. Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the walnuts.
  9. Using a two inch scoop divide the dough into portion, roll each portion into a ball and roll in the raw sugar, place on a baking sheet, these will spread quite a bit so limit it to 6 cookies per sheet.
