Snowball Ginger Cookies (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - Softened unsalted butter (1 cup / 226g).
02 - Half a cup (57g) of powdered sugar.
03 - One teaspoon vanilla.
04 - Half a teaspoon of salt.
05 - One teaspoon ground cinnamon.
06 - One teaspoon ground ginger.
07 - Half a teaspoon of nutmeg.
08 - Quarter teaspoon of allspice.
09 - Quarter teaspoon of cloves.
10 - A tablespoon of molasses.
11 - All-purpose flour (2 1/4 cups / 279g).
12 - Extra powdered sugar (for coating).

# Instructions:

01 - Set the oven to 350°F and put parchment paper on your baking trays.
02 - Whip the butter for 20 seconds till fluffy. Blend in powdered sugar, vanilla, salt, spices, and molasses until smooth.
03 - Mix flour into the wet mixture until you see a dough. Keep mixing past the crumbly stage until it sticks together.
04 - Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls and place them on the lined trays.
05 - Pop them in the oven for 10-12 minutes—it’s done when bottoms are lightly browned.
06 - Let cookies cool a bit, roll them in powdered sugar while warm. When fully cooled, coat them in sugar again.

# Notes:

01 - The dough might seem crumbly but keep working it—it’ll combine.
02 - Double sugar coating gives a thicker, better layer.
