Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, beat softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy—about 3-5 minutes.
Add a large egg and the molasses, mixing until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground ginger. Gradually mix this dry blend into the wet ingredients to form your dough.
Scoop out the dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, roll them into 1-inch balls, and roll in granulated sugar before placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 9-11 minutes, watching for the cookies to crack slightly on top.
While cookies cool, whisk together melted butter, pure maple syrup, powdered sugar, milk, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Once the cookies have cooled completely, dip each into the glaze and allow excess glaze to drip off before placing them on wax paper.

Dust with a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra holiday touch. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days.
