Ingredients

Scale

  • 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)

  • 3–4 tablespoons plant-based eggnog

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream together softened butter and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and molasses until well combined.
