All Purpose Flour
Cornstarch: This adds chewiness to your cookies.
Baking Soda
Spices: A combination of ground ginger, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt.
Butter: Use unsalted butter, make sure it is fully softened.
Sugar: Brown sugar and granulated sugar, or you can use all brown sugar for the dough if you prefer. For the cinnamon sugar coating, I recommend sticking with granulated sugar.
Molasses: I use classic molasses, but blackstrap molasses also works in this recipe.
Egg
Vanilla Extract
