Ingredients

2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 large egg
2 1/2 tablespoons molasses
2 1/2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup turbinado sugar (such as Sugar in the Raw®)

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2 Combine flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
3 Beat white sugar, butter, and egg together in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add molasses and honey and beat for 1 minute. Slowly beat in flour mixture to combine.
4 Combine turbinado sugar and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
5 Roll dough into balls using a rounded teaspoon. Roll each in cinnamon-sugar mixture and place on the prepared baking sheets.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 10 minutes. Cool for 1 minute, then transfer to wire racks to finish cooling.
