Ingredients
170 grams butter, room temperature
1/2 cup (110 g) sugar
1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
1 egg, room temperature
1/4 cup (75 g) molasses
2 teaspoons fresh ginger root, peeled and microplaned
2 1/4 cups (365 g) flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup crystallized ginger, chopped
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 F, and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together butter and sugar in electric mixer until light and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add egg, molasses, and fresh ginger until blended.
- Combine remaining ingredients in a separate bowl: flour, baking soda, salt, spices, and crystallized ginger. Mix together thoroughly.
- Slowly add flour mixture on low speed until just combined, then chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Roll tablespoons of dough into small balls, then place each ball into a small bowl of sugar and coat the outside.
- Bake cookies 12-15 minutes until firm around edges, but still soft in the center. Cool completely on sheets on racks before moving.
Notes
- You can also freeze these balls at Step 6, then bake from frozen at a later time, just add a couple extra minutes to baking time.
